A large, luxurious, but also well armed and well defended yacht, built for the
extremely rich.

This ship was originally designed by me for one of my Traveller PCs, Leenara 
Vindhoffen, after she became the ruler of rather corrupt industrialised TL15 
world.

An effective variant of this design might be one in which the 100 ton Particle 
Accelerator bay was replaced by ten triple beam laser turrets. This would still 
give the ship a Factor-9 weapon, but in a way which uses far less hull volume 
and power, thus freeing up more space for cargo, passengers and other things.
