OOC: This is the first in what will be a long line of ships.

The LC-1200 frieghter is the newest fast-cross galatic freighter built by and for the Binarian Aerospace Corporation. It can go from one side of the galaxy ito the opposite side in half an hour. Despite its fast speed it is very inaccurate with its jumps, the entry points can differ by thousands of kilometers. The LC-1200 is going to replace a dozen class of simmailar size, but different functions. The crew is very small due to large amounts of automation that is present in the reactor area, and weapons suite. The central AI can control the ship by itself in the event of an emergancy. The aft 40 meters are is made up of the reactor, engines and hyperdrive, and cre quaters for the enginering crew of 5. The fore 10 meters is made up the command center, the mess hall, crew quaters for 7, and the docking hatch.

8,000 Gs.

Or rather, 282,240 m/s/s acceleration. I'm finding.. well, the speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s. You're getting about 1/1000th of the speed of light each second. To put this in a nice comparative way, 10 Gs is REALLY pushing it when it comes to acceleration and humans.

8,000 Gs is pushing it when you're looking at things like metal and computers. Because when you accelerate something enough, it starts a'breakin'.

OOC: thats a typo. It should be 800 Gs.
