The Rocinante

The “Rossie” is a small, sleek, glossy red Kaiser-Fiat Interstellar limited edition, just over 40 meters long. The ship relies on small size to avoid detection and speed and maneuverability for defense. There are four staterooms; the largest is roomy, with an oversized bed and plenty of closet space; the smaller rooms each have three high-quality, fold-away bunks with integral lockers. Each stateroom has its own facilities.
