Orbitliner

An Orbitliner is a massive space vessel designed for interplanetary travel. Most of the vessel is devoted to cryo sleep, but compartments are available for those who wish to stay awake for the long journey. Orbitliners do not land, instead they are attended by Space Ferries that bring passengers to them in orbit.
The Lasswitz is the first liner of its type and the first to feature Quark inversion power, replacing the old Čapek class liners, which had nuclear engines. The Lasswitz class is intended to last until at least 2300.
