discussion about the research ship

[Dusty Lens]

With each passing generation the wilds seem to become slightly tamer, the dark spaces between stars lose their song and fall mute beneath the thrum of passing commerce and freeports that hung undisturbed for years crawled with passengers roaming between suddenly near ports of call. With discovered resources that fueled their way of life suddenly contested between parties that could not be challenged and individuals who sought the solitude away from the drum of daily life finding themselves hosts to throngs moves were made to redouble the effort of expanding.

The Corvo was crafted to meet the needs of a relatively economic deep space faring vessel, designed to voyage under conventional drives to remote stars to see what might be seen. With an emphasis on interior comfort and reliability, these vessels are designed to sustain themselves for decades. Family vessels built to be taken beyond the stars, they are not put into the hands of parties suspect of employing them as weapons of war. Individuals seeking to tarnish the reputation of the craft thusly might find their own journeys to be short indeed.

I'm confused... I thought the ship's lore was that it functioned as a mid to deep space colony vessel?

Group of people jump in. Group of people fly that-a-way. Group of people find a patch of homestead with some resources that can make the trip worthwhile.

Sort of like a poor man's juggy... Insofar as it could be considered an inexpensive ship.

Or that was my impression. I might have missed something. In which case the infocard will need updating.
