TEXT: The Starship Construction Manual 
  provides rules for building vessels of 
  1,000 metric tons or larger. These are 
  designed to emulate the classic starships 
  of the final frontier, with the smallest size 
  being a 1,000-ton Class I vessel with a 
  crew of 4. 
     However, ships can be much smaller 
  than that! Serenity weights about 140 tons, 
  and the Millennium Falcon under 100 tons. 
  And that’s not counting fighters and 
  shuttles, all under 50 tons. 
  This article details smaller hull classes, 
  crews, and micro-sized components 
  designed for ships smaller than Class I. 
  Class 0 Ships 
  Class 0 vessels are those between 0 and 
  1,000 metric tons. They are subdivided 
  into three categories, as shown on the 
  table below. Class 0-I ships include 
  single or two-person fighters and similar 
  craft, while Class 0-II and 0-III ships 
  include ships like the Falcon and 
  Serenity. 
     For ships this small, the crew 
  requirements generally include a pilot, 
  and possibly an engineer. Navigation 
  tends to fall under the pilot’s purview. 
  Gunners and medical crew are less 
  essential. 
  Chen–Zua 
  Corporation 
  The components in this article all come 
  from the Chen-Zua corporation. There 
  are, of course, many other companies 
  producing components for Class 0 ships.

  LUXURY 
  Vessels smaller than Class I are not 
  affected by their LUXURY score. These 
  vessels tend to have a cockpit rather than 
  a bridge. 
  Shuttle Cabins 
  The Passenger Capacity of a vessel refers 
  to long-term sleeping capacity. For Class 
  0, this will typically be zero, although 
  some small ships might be able to carry 
  one or two passengers. For shorter trips 
  where a number of passengers sit 
  onboard (like on a bus), do not use the 
  Passenger Capacity. Instead, purchase the 
  Shuttle Cabin facility for the number of 
  people you wish to transport. This does 
  not include the crew. 
  Class Calculations 
  For calculations where a value is divided 
  by the ship’s class (SPEED, FTL, SOAK, 
  etc.), a Class 0 vessel is treated as a Class I 
  vessel.  
  Cargo Capacity 
  Once cargo capacity in tons has been 
  determined, multiply it by the percentage 
  in the Cargo column on the hull class 
  table.
