Starship/Legends

A starship was a spaceship designed for interstellar travel, specifically between star systems.

Starships were commonly powered by ion engines or sublight drives, and many - usually the larger vessels - were equipped with hyperdrive generators, used to reach lightspeed. Such was the state of the galaxy, many starships were armed, usually with laser cannons or blaster cannons. Capital ships often featured turbolaser emplacements or missile launchers. Weapons helped defend against star pirates and military forces. Deflector shields countered the effect of laser weaponry, protecting the starship from attack.

Intergalactic starflight became possible largely with the invention of the dual-drive system, which consisted of an anti-grav drive to exit a system's gravity well and do inter-system traveling, and a hyperdrive system to allow for faster-than-light travel.
