SDF Starclimber-A [PAD]

The successor to the SDF Starclimber. The "A" has upgrades based on the recommendations of the SDF Corps of Field Engineers. Including (but not limited to) expanded crew quarters and advanced nacelles (plus a firing range).

After the tragic loss of Captain Blake Swan and the original Starclimber at the battle of the Trinary System the need for a state-of-the-art vessel was a priority for the SDF. With the Stardriver nearing completion the SDF decided to seize it and proceed with the proposed "A" plans by using what the SDF Military Branch had built and renaming it the Starclimber-A, much to the chagrin of the Military Branch.
