==Description==
The smallest and lightest vessel from the OPLI shipyard. It has the same design as the other OPLI ships due to technology restrictions: The prisoners mustn't get in contact with sensible apperatures that could be sabotaged.
This ship is used as small transfer vehicle for people who want to have a bit of fun flying around the solar system or higher generals who want to travel to starports where their large ships can't dock without showing much radar signature.
The xylophis is hyperspace capable, allowing short trips to other systems or to flee when under fire.
As with any OPLI-Barnard ships, Xylophis is easy to maintain, but it needs frequent maintenance. Upgrading and tuning is difficult because the space is limited and since there is nearly no demand there are not much parts for tuning it up.

==Role==
It's main role is low range intra-system shuttle and courier. With a hyperdrive installed it can be used for fun flights to other systems or to hop away from enemies to a safe system.
Due to its size it can't be efficiently used for a lot of purposes but its size makes it more difficult to detect and in asteroid field it is nearly impossible to get it.
It can occasionally be seen in Solar Federation space, in independent systems its popularity is a bit lower. It's not a common sight in CIW space. In fact OPLI-Barnard ships are disliked because they are produced with penal labor.

==Notes==
Xylophis is a good ship for people with low demands. It is often used by hobbyists and people interested in space because it is small, easy to control and dependable.
Like most other OPLI ships it has a wide margin of error, so it's ideal starter craft. It's main drawback is the very low cargospace.

==Description==
The Wave is a medium-sized, yet highly capable, multi-role craft. Designed by [[Auronox Corporation]] for privateers operating in and around dense nebulae and thick atmospheres, the flat, delta-wing design and X-shaped supporting fins provide extra stability, lift, and control whilst reducing drag. The careful hull design, combined with modern composite materials, allow the 13 metric tonne craft to transport over twice its mass in cargo, whilst brandishing a moderate array of weaponry. Additionally, its fuel tanks have a capacity of 22 tonnes, for relatively good range between waypoints.

==Known Issues==
At this time, Auronox have not admitted to any defects in the Wave's design, or construction.

==History==
After the success of the Deneb, Albr Corp was one of the corporations approached by the Federation Navy to produce designs for a low cost, atmospheric capable "drop ship" for ferrying troops / equipment / armored vehicles from orbiting carriers to front line battlefield locations and vice versa.

The basic specifications:
* Low maintenance
* Atmospheric, aerodynamic design
* Robust design with redundant system protection
* Earth to LEO in < 2 minutes
* Mechanism for quickly loading / unloading without the need for cranes

Albr Corp based its whole ship design around two large engines (that were designed for a much larger ship and would never normally be fitted to a ship this size) and a large loading ramp at the rear, leading to a spacious cargo hold, that would allow troops / vehicles to drive on and off.

Even with stiff competition from several other corporations, Albr Corp eventually won the contract with its design, mainly because the ship was designed from the ground up as a military drop ship and not a "militarised" version of a civilian ship like most other corporations proposed.

This ship was named the AC33 but was more widely known as by its project name "Dropstar".

==Venturestar==
Once the initial rush of manufacturing had tailed off, Albr Corp saw the opportunity to make more money with a civilian version.
The original design was edited, removing the large engines and fitting regular more economical versions (which also drastically improved cargo space), and also adding crew cabins and finishing the interior with less sparse fittings.

==Improvements and changes==
Initial uptake of the Venturestar was not as high as expected, so after a few months of very low sales, the design was modified to add the same main engine nozzles (the cooling fins of the Dropstar are now redundant with normal engines) and wing end plates as the Dropstar, giving it a more utilitarian look.

The advertising campaign was stepped up to market the Venturestar as a military grade civilian freighter which set it apart from all the other similar ships which were marketed as "Luxury" freighters.

These small changes, as superficial as they were, pushed the Venturestar from obscurity to being a ship that can be found throughout the known galaxy.

}}

== Description ==
The Pumpkinseed's design goal was to build a light, very fast and maneuverable craft, mainly for courier purposes. OKB Kaluri achieved this goal by adding more engine systems. It's eight main thrusters can provide 18G acceleration when empty, which makes it one of the fastest craft money can buy. Comparably high retro thrust and a generous amount of maneuvering thrusters makes it appropriately nimble for its speed.

The curved shape of the hull provides decent atmospheric maneuverability and good structural integrity at the same time. Heat sinks are situated on adjustable fins typical to OKB Kaluri crafts, to give a degree of control for the direction of heath radiation which can dramatically decrease detectability.

The cost of this is the very small cargo hold and uncomfortable cabin. Contrary to OKB Kaluri's reputation, it has a very high maintenance demand – this could be attributed mostly to its high powered (though admittedly very efficient) engines. Usually, the ship needs a throughout status check after any flight longer than a few days, and usually there will be need for readjustment and repair. Pumpkinseeds have a very long operating lifetime, but without maintenance their performance will drop quickly and significantly.

It has four light weapon hardpoints that are used only as a last resort due to a lack of capacity – the ship normally relies on its high thrust and nimbleness to avoid encounters.

== Role ==
The Pumpkinseed's main role is to provide courier services between inhabited systems. The ship's small cargo hold doesn't allow for heavier delivery, but its speed ensures a fast one. Thanks to the majority of the craft being engines, it can avoid fights easily, which makes it a good choice for both sensitive military operations and for commercial pilots seeking to stay away from conflicts in general.

It can be a formidable fighter if the mechanic crew manages to squeeze in the necessary equipment, but its light hull isn't favorable for a prolonged dogfight.

Racing pilots value it for its thrust ratings and versatility.

One or two cabins could be installed for passenger transport, but won't be very comfortable, nor would it be an effective use of the small space available. Such space might be better used to protect other crucial occupants, like the pilot.

== Notes ==
It's not recommended for beginner pilots due to it's spartan instrumentation, typical to OKB Kaluri ships. It's small crew comparment makes it very uncomfortable for long range travel, if the pilot isn't trained for prolonged flights. In a well trained and disciplined hand it can be a formidable craft for some roles.

==Description==
The Natrix is a small multi-role craft manufactured by OPLI-Barnard Inc. As a cheap vessel with limited cargo space, it is most often used by first-time pilots hoping to eke out a living as interstellar traders. The more ambitious often hope to begin with this small craft, and earn their fortune over time. A few may even hope to abandon the trading life, in search of some grand interstellar adventure.
It is in production since about 180 years for now without any major change in it's design, so it's quite easy to find spare parts for it. And it do needs those spare parts because it needs to be constantly taken care of. It's maintenance cycle is fairly short, but on the other hand, it's simplistic build makes a very easy to maintain craft. It's performance is mediocre at best though.
The Natrix has a fair cargo and fuel capacity, and with some work it's crew compartment can be turned in to a very comfortable and roomy one. Which means it finely fits for mid-range interstellar tasks.
It spread throughout Solar Federation and independent space, but it's not too common in CIW territory, one could even say it's disliked, because of it's manufactured by penal labor, and SolFed prisons are full of political criminals.

==Role==
It's a decent multi-role craft fit for mid-rang cargo and courier tasks, but it shines more in low-range and interplanetary context. It needs some remodeling of the crew space to be sufficiently roomy and comfortable for a mid-range flight.
As with it's smaller counterpart Amphiesma, it's quite popular among companies on a budget.
It's similarly popular among smugglers and alike.

== Description ==
Mola Mola is a small, mid range cargo transport from OKB Kaluri. It's a rugged and dependable craft with a very small and simple crew compartment that can house up to three people. It can fly for months without much maintenance. It's curved and compact form provides good atmospheric capabilities. With it's four main engines and overall good redundancy it can withstand even longer times without proper care. The four main - two retro engine setup gives it a good maneuverability.

The downside of this craft is it's relatively low performance which mainly comes from it's robustness.

It sports a front door and ramp, a frontal airlock and a segmented top door, which makes it easy to load and unload quickly in most situations.

== Role ==
It's a typical workhorse craft for small transport and courier businesses.

It can be a good candidate for utility purposes since it's interior can be easily converted to almost any task. It's door setup and nimble handling adds a lot to this wide convertibility.

Mola Molas refitted to passenger transportation are not a rare sight. They are favored by budget transportation companies mainly in that function, so don't expect too much comfort.

There are quite a few of them used by smugglers due it's flexibility and low maintenance need. The popularity of it among firms on a budget means it's a common sight, so it's easier to keep a low profile when doing shady business.

== Notes ==
It could be a very dependable and rewarding craft if the pilot can bear with it's simplistic instrumentation and crew compartment.

==Description==
The LunarShuttle was built in the 3170's as an alternative to large tourist ships.
These little shuttles were built for local transport between planets in a single star system.
As a result of this it hasn't a hyperdrive mount.
Due to its size it can land practically everywhere.
Because of the low buy and maintenance costs and its comfortable interior it became very popular, especially for inhabitants of local star systems who wanted to travel further afield but lacked interest, budget or both to discover more of the galaxy.
Pirate are not attacking those ships very often because it has mounts for two guns and is often unrentable as target.
Today the LunarShuttles are often used by taxi companies and for local tourist flights.
There are cases known that poor people from planets built up a local buissiness and became interstellar traders after making enough money.

==Improvements and changes==
Over the time the exterior stayed the same while the interior changed a bit.
Newer ships have more confortable and ergonomic seats, the controls became a bit easier to handle.
Cheap upgrade kits are the reason why there are nearly no ships without these new improvements present on the market.

==Other uses==
The Sol Federation used some LunarShuttles as light, comfortable, two-manned escort and patrol ship.

==Description==
The Kanara is a two-engined, small combat spaceship with limited cargo space.
It was developed in the 3160s for the Sol military and police to serve as a replacement for the older ships.
The Kanara is fast and agile but has little room for cargo, shields or advanced weapons.
Instead, a combat pilot must rely on agility, training, experience... and perhaps more lucrative forms of income than trade.
Based on a best-of-breed dropship's hull design, with modifications for interstellar travel and prolonged combat, the Kanara is ideal for low-range combats in swarms.
A special thing about the Kanara is, that it has two Stellus engines on the back of the fuselage that make it suitable for eco-friendly travels in oxygen atmospheres.

==Improvements and Changes==
When it was built, the Kanara had some serious problems due to a strain misscalculation in the engine mountings that caused some accidents.
One of them was later reffered to as the "Gates BBQ", when an engine hit the kitchen airlock of Gates Spaceport but didn't cause serious damage.
In the next months all the Kanaras got new engine mountings, the same that are used until today.

==Other uses==
The Kanara is a formidable combat ship that is most often used by police or military forces.
Also it is often used by pirates beause of its reliability and because a good pilot can easily escape in asteroid fields.

==Description==
The DeepSpaceMiner is a large transport and mining vessel.
It was developed for several rich mining industrialists from the 3090s until the late 3100s by Haber Corporation.
The DeepSpaceMiner was intended to be the flagship for a new series of heavy transporters but it failed to
gain popularity because pirates saw them as easy pickings.
For this reason they were often used in escorts what made them a bit unefficient.
As the shielding technology developed, large transport ships could use strong, affordable shields.
That's why the DeepSpaceMiner gained popularity again in the 3170s and has been produced in masses for any purpose.
Today, the DeepSpaceMiner is a wanted ship because it can carry a lot of cargo and is quite affordable.

==Improvements and changes==
With time, the early versions of the shielding devices were replaced by more advanced shields.
Especially the shielding electronics were improved to withstand cosmic rays better and allow better reliability.
The Low Impact Shielding (LIS) was replaced by the more modern Sirius III-Shielding devices in the early 3160s.
Later, in the middle of the 3170, the shielding technology made a huge step forward with the invention of the Quantum
plasma effect. Today nearly all DeepSpaceMiners use this technology. Because several companies are producing the
DeepSpaceMiner in license, the manufacturer of the shielding device can vary while the strength stays the same.

==Other uses==
Because of its size, the DeepSpaceMiner is capable of carrying huge masses and a lot of equipment.
Therefore the first production line was especially built for mining activities.
Today they are used as huge freighters, often stand-alone.
Modified versions are used as homes, hotels and VIP transports.

==Description==
The Deneb was designed as a low cost, no frills, atmospheric capable shuttle for ferrying goods (or passengers if the cargo hold is pressurised and seats fitted) from a planet's surface to orbital stations or large cargo ships in a low orbit and vice versa.

Its large cargo bay doors allow it to be loaded / unloaded quickly, meaning less time spent docked between trips.

The Deneb is not a fast ship but its engine is very fuel efficient and reliable. Couple this with the fact that it can glide from a low orbit to a planet’s surface using virtually no fuel, even landing at larger airports runways, make this ship a very attractive purchase for independent courier companies on a tight budget.

==Improvements and changes==
Later versions were fitted with crew cabins allowing the Deneb to be used for longer inter-planetary trips. This also allowed the Deneb to be fitted with a hyperdrive for inter-system travel.

With longer travel distances and slow acceleration, the Deneb became a preferred target for pirates, so a gun point was also added and 8 missile slots making it a risky target for all but the most determined pirates.

==Other uses==
Other common aftermarket configurations include:
* Lush cabins fitted for use as an executive shuttle
* Sensor arrays and science labs fitted for deep space research missions

The military has also been known to fit long range ECM / jamming / sensing equipment for "electronic warfare" roles and fitting multi missile launchers to turn the Deneb into a "missile boat".

==Description==
Smaller and relatively faster sister of the Natrix. It's a no-frills multi-role craft mainly for courier and small cargo tasks, but it often used as a police patrol craft in small outback systems. It has been manufactured with penal labor in one of the Barnard's star penitentiary's shipyard for about 150 years now. It received periodical minor design updates, but the chassis is practically the same.
As with any OPLI-Barnard ships, Amphiesma is easy to maintain, but it needs frequent maintenance. Upgrading and tuning is equally simple, but it's not really popular in tuner circles. It's crew compartment is equally simplistic, but it can be easily upgraded to be more comfortable.

==Role==
It's main role is medium range intra-system shuttle and courier. With a hyperdrive upgrade it can be a decent mid-range courier especially if you finances are tight.
It's tuning and upgrading capability makes it a popular racing craft. Most of the time it receives over-sized engines, larger heat sinks and a larger fuel tank at the expense of cargo and crew space.
It's widely used in Solar Federation space, and it's popular in independent systems too, due to it's simpleness. It's not a common sight in CIW space. In fact OPLI-Barnard ships are disliked because they are produced with penal labor.
It's a popular smugglers ship too.

==Notes==
Amphiesma could prove to be a dependable and likable craft even in the hands of an inexperienced pilot, if taken care properly. It has a wide margin of error, so it's ideal starter craft. It's main drawback is it's mediocre performance and high maintenance need, but most of these jobs are easy to do even without a proper workshop. They don't get stolen too much.

==Description==
The Kanara is a two-engined, small combat spaceship with limited cargo space.
It was developed in the 3160s for the Sol military and police to serve as a replacement for the older ships.
The Kanara is fast and agile but has little room for cargo, shields or advanced weapons.
Instead, a combat pilot must rely on agility, training, experience... and perhaps more lucrative forms of income than trade.
Based on a best-of-breed dropship's hull design, with modifications for interstellar travel and prolonged combat, the Kanara is ideal for low-range combats in swarms.
A special thing about the Kanara is, that it has two Stellus engines on the back of the fuselage that make it suitable for eco-friendly travels in oxygen atmospheres.

==Improvements and Changes==
When it was built, the Kanara had some serious problems due to a strain misscalculation in the engine mountings that caused some accidents.
One of them was later reffered to as the "Gates BBQ", when an engine hit the kitchen airlock of Gates Spaceport but didn't cause serious damage.
In the next months all the Kanaras got new engine mountings, the same that are used until today.

==Other uses==
The Kanara is a formidable combat ship that is most often used by police or military forces.
Also it is often used by pirates beause of its reliability and because a good pilot can easily escape in asteroid fields.

==Description==
Neroida is the OPLI Barnard workhorse interstellar medium freighter. A very rugged but relatively easy to maintain craft. It has a segmented top cargo bay door with a built-in loading crane which retracts to the hull. This, and it's large front door makes it easy to load and unload.

==Role==
It's main role is mid to long range bulk cargo transportation. Due to it's low maneuverability, it's a common target for pirates.
