History
- 1092:
- Evelyn rolled-out, commissioned for RLM (Rio Largo Mfg) for light shipping duties. Recorded 37 voyages with the corporation, under 5 captains.
- 1110:
- Evelyn refitted with newer, more powerful maneuver drives.
- 1112:
- RLM liquidates its smaller ships in favor of contracting out to larger, more-regular liner service. After 8yrs of faithful service, Evelyn put to market and sold to Cpt. Plumbley. Renamed Lady’s Grace.
- 1116:
- Cpt. Plumbley expands his business to include two more ships, a move which he will come to regret as the business doesn’t exactly “take-off.”
- 1118:
- Lady’s Grace severely damaged in a collision that resulted in a major internal fire. For the tax write-off, Cpt. Plumbley gives the ship to DSD to either repair or scrap. The ship is repaired, rebuilt and refitted, and christened Bad Omen
Miscellaneous Notes
- For Traveller, I use the stats for a Suleiman II, with space from maneuver drives traded for a third stateroom—pretty close to the original specs of the non-Traveller version
- The original design dates back to 2005 or so and was intended for a homebrew space-traders campaign, Steel Ships and Space Marines (S³M), inspired heavily by Firefly, but has been refitted now for Traveller in the Third Imperium
- This is my third such Traveller ship modeling project for Sketchup, but certainly the most detailed and ambitious, and the first to use lighting rendering (provided by Twilight Render plugin)
- The “green” interior was a bit of an accident. The textures I found were that color already, and I started making others match just to keep it unified, though I intended to change it later. But it kinda grew on me, and when I asked the players, they insisted I keep it.
- Tail number, CGG-51305, refers to Core Group Gamers and the date of the first session this ship/crew were introduced, 13 May 2005 (thanks to Rigil Kent for the idea)
