Single-stage interstellar vehicle (ISV) capable of 31.8% of c top speed.
It is a replica of Reddit user Redeye1999's ISV posted Jan 2023 in r/worldbuilding. Redeye1999's version would mass 1 Mt, house 1100 crew members, and achieve a coast speed of 0.098c. This replica is the same size (1.5 km long) but is much more massive at 11.6 Mt compared to the proposed 1 Mt. It can also house 8610 crew members compared to the initial 1100. The original version was said to be speed-limited due to dust impacts at high velocities. This sounds realistic, but I sought higher speeds and larger margins for a more comfortable user experience.
The ISV comes unloaded but has tanks for auxiliary fuel storage and a docking section for landers or shuttlecraft. The ports are 400% size, so make sure they are compatible with your shuttlecraft.

If it has an interior compartment for an astronaut, I will download them
