Star Queen

The Star Queen is a huge and luxurious passenger transport and one of humanity's two Star Liners.
== Description ==
The Star Queen is a relic of a more peaceful period of galactic history: a luxury liner for high-end tourists. Every cabin has its own mini-bar, and the bathrooms have marble tile and showers that use actual hot water instead of chemicals or sonic vibrations.
In support of environmental movements across the galaxy, all Star Queens come standard with an array of solar panels as their only source of energy as opposed to more popular power generators such as fuel cells or nuclear reactors that produce some amount of waste. Although some argue that this is a pointless move given the prevalence of clean fusion reactors, others have applauded it and cited the prohibitive costs of fusion reactors as a reason for using solar panels.
== Location ==
The Star Queen can be purchased at the following ports:
* Ada, Aldebaran
* Chiron, Alpha Centauri
* Follower, Alphard
* Prime, Betelgeuse
* Shroud, Alheka

== Performance Information ==
With a high crew and large number of bunk spaces in combination with a small cargo bay and mediocre weapon capacity for a vessel of this size, the Star Queen is a niche vessel for players who want to get the most money possible out of passenger missions. Due to its low combat potential and its reliance on on solar arrays instead of a reactor, which makes powering weapons difficult, a Star Queen is best used in the safer regions of human space that are heavily patrolled by Republic ships.
That said, the Star Queen's expansive bunk space (only outclassed by other star liners and heavy warships like the Carrier, Dreadnought, and Bactrian) can also let it be used as an unconventional troop transport for capturing ships, provided you have enough escorts to make up for the ship's poor combat performance.
