TL10 Bell-class point-to-point courier [Tempt Not the Stars] The Bell-class courier concept started life as a pure jump courier, similar to the express boat used in the First Federation. However, feature creep is a timeless problem; the resultant ship, while not as fast in translight as had been hoped, can operate between starports rather than relying on support vessels. The cockpit is famously sybaritic. Crew: 1 total. 1 crew station covering vehicle control (ground, piloting), 2 communicators, 4 navigation aids, sensor.
