Single-stage interstellar vehicle, capable of 14% of c top speed, intended for use in sub-light interstellar travel.
The propulsion system of choice for this vehicle was z-pitch fusion. It has three 260% scale docking ports for landers, spaceplanes, etc. The vehicle also features a thrust reverse mechanism, so that the vehicle need not flip and burn for deceleration. Such a maneuver would leave the vehicle vulnerable to interstellar dust at relativistic speeds.
Performance Specs
TWR (LEO): 0.02
Thrust: 330,000 kN
Specific Impulse: 1.06 million sec
dV (Unloaded): 41.7 million m/s (0.139c)
Nominal Payload Capacity: ~10,000 tons
Middle of the ship in the storage containers is reserve fuel (water, monoprop, and jet fuel), so unload that if you want to extend the range.
Burn through timewarp is supported!
