DarkStar Panstellar / DSPAN

If you wish to travel in stylish extravigance, or to the most riddiculous location, then Darkstar Panstellar are for you.

Our motto aliquando huc means anywhere anytime and that is reflected in our primary objective to deliver passengers and cargo to where ever is required, in a reasonable timeframe.

We strongly believe that time spent enroute to a destination is just as important as the destination its self. Combining the partying decadence of early 20th century steam ships, jet set attitude of mid century aviation, and the freedom of late century travel; we aim to provide an atmosphere of fun loving adventure, in a comfortable environment.

With this in mind; whilst we are obviously obliged to get you to your destination, we are not afraid to detour if we spot something noteworthy along the way.

In the spirit of having a good time, we endeavour to act upon all reasonable requests to enhance the passenger experience. We are obligated to remind you that, whilst we strive to meet any and all expectations, as with all ships the Captain’s word is law. So if you are being an arse about what you want, expect to be put down in as sassy a manner as possible.

Finally (until we think of something else to say) on the subject of our motto, we really do mean it. If you want to take an 890 Jump to shop at Grim Hex, or watch an epic space dog fight in a nebula whilst sipping champagne and listening to smooth jazz, well, that sounds like fun to us. And of course, for more ‘delicate’ requests, more rough and ready craft are availiable.

Vision

To transport anyone or anything, anywhere, in absolute style. With a sidebar in adventure.

We aim to throw high end parties, visit the most beautiful vistas in the ‘verse, and take luxury ships to places they really shouldn’t go! Recognising that this may be an Org cripplingly expensive persuit, slightly less risky passenger, vip and cargo missions will also be flown, to fund our more hair brained activities. We also hire our services out to orther Orgs and Citizens in need of a neutral meeting space, a luxury ship they dont have, or just a third party to move someone or thing from A to B.

We suspect our shennanigans will cause many self induced explosions, but anticipate that over time we will become proficient enough at not dying to be trusted to take people to hard to access locales, in complete luxury.

We welcome allcomers, whether you want to drop in and out for a light hearted break from more serious Star Citizen activities, or if this we suit your prefered playstyle, take a more active role in our eccentric extravagant endeavour.

Ship Structure

This section provides an overview of the many roles required for the smooth operation of a pan galactic luxury cruise vessel, and the chain of command used to carry them out. The scaled down nature of space yachts mean that all crew members are trained to be knowledgeable and interchangeable in many roles, allowing for efficiency and versatility with a relatively small crew.

Personnel onboard all ships can be broadly split into three ranked categories, these are; Officers, who lead and manage roles onboard. Crew, who carry out tasks and roles required for the operation of the ship. Passengers, the reason the ship is going anywhere in the first place.

-

Officers

Captain: The ships ultimate authority, in overall command and responsible for everyone and everything on the ship. They look after the big picture of whats going on. In the event of there being more than one Captain on a ship, or more than one ship in the formation, then one Captain shall be designated overall Commander

First Officer: A designated second in command, assists the Captain, providing a sounding board for ideas and excecuting the Captains plans. They take charge on watch when the Captain is otherwise engaged, such as when ashore or on a rest break. On larger vessels the FO is best utilised running the day to day operations and crew roster, allowing the Captain to focus on the big picture.

Purser: Acts as the ships quatermaster/accountant, manages the cabin crew members and service hospitality.

Chef: Often thought of as the most important person on the ship. The Chef works under and in coordination with the Purser and is in charge of catering.

Chief Engineer: In charge of maintainance upkeep and other mechanical roles.

Head of Security: In charge of security, and security personel on the ship. The security role is generally covered by all crew members onboard, as such this position is only really required when operating parties with large numbers of passengers.
