| The Novorossiysk
is one of the smallest commercial starships in service to
humanity. Ships of this class are fairly common in spite of their
handicaps, as they are inexpensive to purchase and to operate.
The Novorossiysk is a free
trader design, allowing a very small crew to transport small cargoes
and passengers to destinations off the beaten path. It is heavily
armed for such a small vessel, and is considered capable of taking care
of itself in most pirate encounters. The Novorossiysk’s principal hang up is
its very small size, which limits its cargo margin to just 16% of total
MASS, and also makes the vessel too small for an effective spin
habitat. The Novorossiysk
class does not even bother with one, though there is allowance in the
internal design to permit the ship to tumble end over end during
transit to provide about 0.10G effective gravity. The lack of a
spin habitat limits the endurance of even crews made up of
Belters. In spite of these drawbacks, the Novorossiysk is a popular design
with free traders and with the Russian and Ukrainian space forces as
scouts and courier ships. Several examples exist in Sagittarius,
and the templates to construct them were available at a very affordable
price prior to the Stargate collapse. Ships of the class
