The Ericson design has proven itself in numerous conflicts across the universe & beyond. The veteran design has been the standby for warships, exploration vessels, & has proven itself for decades. The design is flexible & some consider this design almost perfect. Even more details of this wonderful vehicle can be found Here
This spacecraft makes a perfect adventuring party craft! It can be used in early era  star trek games, Human Space Empire as a command, base craft, etc. Terminal Space gives even more options from adventure location to lair, in addition this ship could be used as a jump off point to take your mutant future crew into space or as the focus of a campaign. Within Carcosa this craft could be wreckage on the surface of the a planet or as a location for addition encounters or artifacts..

  1. Your Winchell Chung link is malformed... it requires its terminal 'l'.

    While I'm here, keep up the outstanding posting. Both the content and the frequency are admirable.
