This is the ship in which the players reside! It is the setting for the majority of our roleplay. It is usually referred to as simply “The Legacy”.
The ship is owned by Jaymie and Jarvis Flint, Maria “Ria” Flint (Jarvis' older sister), and Enkeli Vasa. Enkeli is a Space Boomer who was born and raised on a ship. Jaymie and Jarvis met Enkeli and fell in love with the lifestyle, and along with Jarvis' older sister who was able to secure major financing for the venture, they were able to purchase the Legacy.
The Legacy Flint-Vasa is a superfreighter approximately 600 meters long, comprising of three major sections. The 'living space' or habitation which is the fore-most section; this is 6 decks and contains the bridge, crew accommodations, passenger accommodations, entertainment areas, food, shuttles, and so forth. Then there's the ship's spine; approximately 400 meters worth of the ship is the spine itself, and different “things” can hook onto the spine.
For instance, large pods containing cargo, labs, fabrication facilities, additional accommodations, or other such things may attach to the spine. Grids of cargo containers can be attached similar to a modern container ship. Or large 'bulk' items such as pieces of space station or huge industrial machinery can be affixed to the spine with the space equivalent of cargo straps.
Then in the aft, there are four decks in the engineering section where 4 large Ripple Drives power the ship's FTL capabilities along with a huge injection-fusion core generating enough power to run a large city.
