They were capable of moving rooms or machinery around within their hulls, or stripping material from one point to repair another. Lighthuggers also possessed a limited repair and redesign capability. The great size of the lighthuggers enabled them to carry vast numbers of passengers and huge amounts of cargo. Generally 3–4 km long, they used Conjoiner drives for propulsion, and were also coated with a thick caul of ice that protected against minor impacts at relativistic velocities and acted as armour against the attacks of other ships. Although capable of extremely powerful bursts of acceleration (at least 10 g without any inertial suppression), when in transit between stellar systems lighthuggers typically sustained an acceleration of 1 g which would enable them to reach 99% of the speed of light in about 1 Earth year. ![]() Lighthuggers were spacecraft that traveled at just below the speed of light, taking months or years to accelerate to their cruising speed. ![]() |
