The Hoshikaze 2250 universe is a space-opera setting with some cyber and hard-science inside. This history of the future is developped by the Association of the same name. We are at any point in time between 4 and 10 people to work on this universe. We maintain a wiki encyclopedia on our site, edit a yearly short stories book and have a Role-Playing-Game in the making for 2013. This freighter is a quite recent ship, designed to be a very small and effective ship for short-range commerce, with intrasystem and interstellar versions being derived from the same compact spaceframe. It has been designed well after the Fringe War and is adapted to the rise of more extensive commerce between the numerous small settlements that have developped on many systems. Small tramp ships capable of planetfall and ship-to-ship docking are now back on the front scene after some decades of eclipse. Its quad warp drives and six vernier packs allow it to achieve easy VTOL and ground-to-orbit capability without the need for mobile engines and rotating crew quarters, unlike the Caravelle, thus saving much space and weight. Its lenticular shape with internal cargo hold and multiple protruding parts is often described as quite ugly, but also very effective, easing manoeuvers and allowing for quick course changes. Modelled and rendered in DoGA L3 and composed in GIMP.
