Living Ships

[Th'kaal]

I haven't been able to find this anywhere in the game. I thought perhaps providing the ship with all the basic life functions and just hand waving it to say it's alive. However, there is no Self-Repair system. I thought about something like the scutters from Red Dwarf, or even the little bio-mechanical drones from Farscape....

I already figured that you could use a Mechanic/Scholar or a Mechanic/Xenoseeker. There is even Technomancer/Spacefarer or Technomancer/Xenoseeker.

The part I see most compelling is the idea of the soul, because androids have them. Would a ship thus need a soul to be considered alive? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Official rules for living ships are actually coming in March next year.

and purportedly there will be one in Alien Archive in October

The shirren style ships in Core are described as being organic in nature and are living ships, so you don't need any specific ruleset for them.
