The Lucifer was a Corvette class spaceship, small, light but deadly. The historical Corvette was also a class of small war ships just larger than a Frigate. It had a small crew of officers (aka PCs) and enlisted personnel (hirelings). It is a perfect vehicle (pardon the pun) for a game.
A good friend of mine drew a picture of a ship for me and it was perfect. Well....it was perfect because it was what I used and was fond of the drawing.
I lost the drawing years ago, but I kept the Lucifer.
Over the years I expanded on it and wanted to use it in a Star Trek game that never got going. It was the first in a line of ships all named after devils in various myths. So there was the Baalzebul, the Fek'lhr and the Kosst Amojan.
It's not perfect, but it is really, really close. These maps are largely system free, though there is a solid hint of both d20 and Star Trek influences. That is fine by me.
Since I am unlikely to recover the original drawing of the FTL Lucifer, this is a good substitute.
But this only gives me the basics;
Length: 340' (104 meters)
Beam: 230' (70 meters)
Height: 80' (25 meters)
Tonnage: 18,000 (16,300 metric tons)
Cargo Capacity: 2,000 tons (1,815 metric tons)
Main Batteries: 2 dual plasma cannons
Crew Cabins: 4 Officers Quarters, 20 double crew cabins
2 Shuttles, 10 Escape Pods.
Nice little ship.
But to use it a game I will need some stats. Thankfully I have some games I can stat it up in.
Let's see how it Plays Well With Others.
