Von Schelling Industries are well known for their innovative
ship designs, and the Capitalist class corporate cruiser is no
exception. Designed as mobile corporate headquarters the Capitalist
class is a formidable vessel. Its six heavy thrusters, channelling
plasma from a unique triple fusion ring engine, give excellent power to
mass ratios and providing triple redundancy in the event of a ring
failure. Weapons usually range from PBC turrets and missile launchers
on the basic models to anti-capital ship beam weapons and gatling
cannons on the 'deluxe' models. In addition the Capitalist cruiser can
launch small drones and utility vehicles to support its corporate role.
Von Schelling have retained the sole rights to manufacture the
Capitalist class cruiser, and much of their income is derived from
leasing the vessels to other corporations and selling them cruiser
maintenance contracts.
