The Traveler is a Lockheed-Boeing Consortium starship originally designed in 2330 as an armed executive transport for the U.S. President and Vice President, and later for use by members of Congress.  Wealthy celebrities and senior executives of the megacorporations soon began placing orders for Travelers as personal or company yachts.  The Traveler is heavily armed and armored for a non-military starship, and utilizes a military grade HEPLAR fusion torch drive, giving it tremendous fuel economy in cruise mode.  The spin habitat is modular in layout and easily modified into multiple guest configurations, and can accommodate up to 32 passengers in 3^rd Class comfort.  2^nd Class accommodations count as two 3^rd Class berths, and 1^st Class accommodations count as four 3^rd Class berths.  Grand Class accommodations can count as many as eight 3^rd Class berths, depending on the desired level of personal space and comfort.

The Traveler can carry four small, two medium, or one large lander for transporting passengers to the surface of a world, and has a cargo bay that can carry up to 400 tons of personal baggage and additional supplies.  The ship’s armament consists of two point defense batteries, two Class-1 lasers and a Class-2 laser with all aspect capabilities, though Travelers in Sagittarius typically downrate their Class-2 battery to Class-1 (or remove it entirely), and use the free mass to carry more cargo or propellant reserves.  Several Travelers in Sagittarius have been resold and converted into Free Traders, passenger liners, and in at least one instance, an explorer.
