The Icarus Class Star Ship For High Tech Mysticism & High Caliber Adventure




Most High & Exalted One, we have acquired the craft as per your instructions. The Icarus class star ship are a very ancient design that has seen use in many different territories sire but we are unable at this time track down the original designer or its origin at this time. Frankly sire there is rumors that this design has originated upon old Earth from before the Atomic Wars blacked the sky itself.
The craft is very sturdy & surprising quick for something of its size. The craft will hold between 3-5 crew men including the pilot who can fly the craft himself in an emergency. 

The craft uses an anti gravitic repulsion system with very little loss of particle denigration that we've seen in more modern designs. I would take in under advisement when looking at our own Contra -gravitic systems.   



The craft is powered by a Neutronium Beurelluim sphere core & will retain power for over 400 years or more sire. 




The primary drive system is similar to our Inferogulator but uses space time gate technology that has our department mapping some rather unknown hyperspace corridors & passages. 

The craft are very versatile & can easily be used in a great variety of roles. The science model is perfect or exploration or mapping sire. 


The craft which is in our possession was equipped with both a Mark IV interrocitor & a Mark V Stellarscope.
The Icarus series is perfect for salvage, mining, & a wide variety of roles. We are concerned however. The Icarus is ugly by interstellar standards, the craft is has been used by a great number of less then savory types, & there is the matter of who designed the craft. 


The Icarus is equipped with a zeta beam cannon for both offense & defensive purposes.

 The weaponry of the craft can be used for peaceful purposes however & primarily seems to be used for salvage & asteroid mining.
The craft is a 3 level affair your lordship with the top being used for pilot, navigator, gunner, engineer, etc.
The lower half of the craft that we have acquired has a bio-genesis lab second to none. The second level is given over to the lab & engineering. There are hyper sleep chambers, specimen sleep chambers,quarters (are spartan if at all). These ships run silent & deep into the hyperspace passages of course.

The third level is the core & drive systems of course. The computer systems are a redundant A.I. of the Jerry series sire.

In conclusion your Exalted One I have strong reservations about purchasing any more of these craft. I should say that the dealer of these craft wasn't trust worthy & would not reveal his source of stock at this time.

The Icarus In Other Settings 



The Icarus are a mysterious design in any universe. They are cheap to produce, easy to obtain, & maintain, very friendly to use.
From Carcosa they make a nice craft that can easily be used by adventurers without overpowering the setting. The craft can be seen within a post apocalyptic world ala the Fall Out games or Mutant Future. They can easily be inserted into something like Terminal Space or Human Space Empires where their being sold by Metaluna used space ship dealers. To what purpose is unknown at this time. However these craft come in  a wide variety of designs & are readily available. I've left the price out so the DM can create his own! Have fun & remember to take her for a test spin!
