BACKGROUND▸ The Sanjaval Spaceflight Systems Vagabond-class multipurpose light transport/freighter is a versatile workhorse with a reputation for durability and reliability. In service for over 100 years, Vagabonds are still regularly used throughout the Pact Worlds as cargo haulers, smuggling ships, and exploratory survey vessels. While a crew of six is the standard complement for the Vagabond, the ship’s coordinated control interface and double redundancies on critical systems were designed to allow a single pilot to operate the vessel with little difficulty.
Utilising the popular explorer frame, the Vagabond is equipped with a Pulse Green power core, high-grade Dakkar M10-E thrusters, and a Signal Basic Drift drive. Standard armament is a Gorkal broad-arc gyrolaser mounted forward, supplemented by two Reinbach light laser cannons port and starboard. In addition, a turret-mounted Arabani Arms light particle beam projector provides 360-degree offensive capability at intermediate range.
One of the Vagabond’s most popular features is its completely customisable modular expansion bays. Sanjaval Spaceflight Systems produces a variety of interchangeable service modules, from technomantic laboratories to deluxe guest cabins, all of which can be easily swapped out as needed at any basic spaceport in only a fraction of the time it takes to convert one expansion bay to another on other starships.
The Sunrise Maiden is a stock Vagabond. Captain Moriko Nash’s personal touches to the ship can be seen in the captain’s cabin and the vessel’s customised expansion bays, which include twin cargo holds, six escape pods, and a custom recreation suite incorporating both a gym and a holographic amusement chamber.
