Pacific-class Cruiseliners

The Pacific-class Cruiseliner is a space luxury cruise vessel for civilian space based vacationing. It was the child of the beginning of what would become outer space's tourism industry, opening up new destinations for tourists to visit. The Pacific-class was designed by Boeing and Lockheed Martin as one of the first civilian and corporate vessels to launched to space. The Pacific-class may hold a maximum of nearly 7,500 persons including a 250 person crew. The ship is powered by a fusion generator engine which powers a low grade hyperdrive, equivalent of the older Expedition-class space shuttles, with a top speed of three million miles per hour, almost 500 times slower than the speed of light. Cruiseliner vessels are generally armed with a PDS style laser system for destroying incoming space debris such as asteroids and meteors and security staff on board may be armed with non-lethal weapons and an emergency arsenal of lethal weapons depending on national laws regarding possession of firearms.

Travel
Cruiserliners generally travel of several planned paths through space. Most vessels travel between Earth and the East Asian Federation's Phobos tourist resort. Longer cruise paths include a path to visit different planets within the solar system, such as a trip around Jupiter or Saturn. Cruiseliner vessels generally do not stray further than Neptune and do not travel closer to the sun than Venus.
