Starseeker class colony transport
The United Worlds Commonwealth
Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

Four of the Star Seeker class sub-light colony transports were fitted with the hyperspace translation drives and became the first faster than light colony transports. Unlike the sub-light versions, the HTD types were used to ferry colonies and supplies before finally being used for very long range exploration. All four vessels have thus far failed to return and the UWC has listed all as missing.
