Even the few carrying military-grade armament are referred to as Jolly Rogers, not as WarShips. Many are entirely unarmed and even the ones carrying weapons are considered noncombatants. All ships mounting a compact K-F drive core are therefore considered WarShips by default, even if they technically serve in a support role.īy contrast, JumpShips with a regular (civilian) K-F Drive core are never considered WarShips.
The WarShips only can be built and maintained in the most modern Shipyards.Ĭonsidered the pinnacle of starship engineering, the defining aspect of a WarShip is its Compact K-F Drive, an expensive component that has only half the mass of a similarly powerful regular K-F Drive but greater structural integrity, parameters useful for combat but next to useless for regular JumpShips. However, unlike DropShips, WarShips are incapable of atmospheric operations and cannot safely land. Powerful transit drives enable WarShips to move through space like DropShips - including combat maneuvering with acceleration exceeding 1g (often multiple g's). However, they do not suffer from the lack of mobility normally associated with JumpShips. WarShips could be described as superlarge combat JumpShips.
