Resolute
Shoji Advanced Cruiser
Medium
--------------------
The ship itself is rounded, both in height and width. Though reletively small compared to most cruiser, the Resolute still has enough speed to be considered a threat in a battle. It's color scheme is blue and red, with the Resolute's name written on both sides in light green lettering. All of the weapons are kept inside the ship, and automatically rise out of their places when triggered.
Inside, there are many rooms. The bridge is obviously where all the action happens. The ship is flown there, and all controls and cameras are located inside it. The bridge has a chair for everybody in their rightful places. The two seats in the middle are for Bra and BJ.
On the top floor, the same floor as the bridge, are most of the public rooms. The kitchen is there, as well as the diner. The diner is like a mini-resturant, complete with a bar. There are two large bedrooms, one being a guest room. The second bedroom is for Jale and Shir.
The main entrance onto the ship is on this floor, as well. It's right by the bridge.
Under that on the lower deck are three storage rooms and more bedrooms. Sally and George share a room, while Grant, Fabian, Artimus, and Cesar all have their own small rooms.
The lowest floor contains the engine room and the storage deck. Bra's fighter jet, the Vindicator, rests on the deck. On either side of it is a bedroom for Bra and BJ, one each. Victoria's bedroom/private laboratory is right next to the engine room.

Weapons
--------------------
Cluster Munitions Launch Platform - Capable of launching a large warhead from a weapons rack mounted to the ship. This warhead will home in on it's target, and, upon reaching a safe distance from the ship it was launched from, will burst open, hurling a dozen indepententally targetted cluster munitions toward the opponent. This is capable of immense devastation, but comes at a great cost to the owner's resources.
2 Light Blaster Turrets - A recent invention in warfare technology, the blaster turrent is, more or less, a laser. It fires powerful beams, but has a significant draining effect on a ship's core. While, on the outside, it may seem that there is little benefit to purchasing one of these over an assault cannon, the blaster can bypass many defenses that the cannon can not.
3 Light Assault Cannons - The light assault cannon is the backbone of most ship armaments. It fires 50mm rounds at high speeds. Because it uses ballistic projectiles, the cost to the core is very minimal.
2 Heavy Assault Cannons - Similar to the light assault cannon, the heavier version of this weapon offers significant fire-power for little cost to the core. The sheer weight of this weapon, however, slows a ships overall speed.
--------------------
Ship/Armor Upgrades
--------------------
Ablative Plating - A series of protective plates attatched to a ship. These plates, when hit, absorb the impact of a project and deteriorate. As a result the ship itself feels very little physical impact and takes no damage to its original armor. This provides exceptional protection against ballistic weapons, but is not nearly as effective agaisnt blaster-type weapons.
Ki Shielding - While this type of shield does not offer much in the way of protection against ship-based weapons, it nullifies attacks from warrior who wield ki as a weapon. Very handly when facing ships with warrior capable of higher-level transformations.
Energy Weave Barrier - As with the ki shielding, this barrier weaves core energy through the plating of a ship, making it immune to the effects of abilities such as Metal Binding.
Stasis Shielding - As it turns out, the technology used to create stasis fields can also be applied to deflect and dispurse the energy from various weapons. This upgrade makes use of such amplification to strength a ships shields. In addition, the stasis technology retains it original function. If you're tired of unwanted guests teleporting onto your ship, then this is the upgrade for you.
Deflective Shielding - Upon being hit by a blaster-type weapon, the deflective shield dispurses the energy of the attack and protects the ship from any damage. This system of defense, however, has very little effect against ballistic projectiles.
Reactive Plating - Upon being struck by an attack, the core of a ship will transfer energy to the point of impact, plus the surrounding area. This energy strengths the ships defense against subsequent attacks quite effectively. This method of defense is incredibly potent against Assault Cannons and any other weapon the relies on a high rate of fire to do damage. The transferred energy also works to absrob the impact of blaster projectiles, making this plating an ideal all-around defense.
--------------------
Engine Upgrades
--------------------
Cete'el High-Thrust Drive Swap - Deviating from normal procedure, Cete'el Industries has created a set of oversized engines for the medium ship. These engines come complete with all the necessary hardware and electronics for them to run at optimal performance. The result is outstanding speed for the heavy vessel.
Scram Jets - Available only on the small and medium ships, scram jets are a set of boosters that, when activated, launch the ship forward at incredible speed. The downside is that they overheat very quickly, and require a 'cool-down' period in between uses. These scram jets have an internalized power supply, and therefore drain nothing from the main core.

Crew
--------------------
Zero - The AI system of the ship is a kind computer that tried it's best to encourage the safest route possible. He's extremely easy to favor, however, which makes him invaluable. He's not afraid to let his opinion be known, but isn't forcible at all.
Victoria - A young adult female, Vicky is a human who has spent most of her life involved in some form of space science. Eventually, she volunteered to work in a space station to continue her research, but when that project went under she began to work in various different spaceships in order to continue her constant search for knowledge. She hopes her venture aboard the Resolute will be permanent. Victoria isn't very sociable, rather keeping to herself. She has a small lab in her own private quarters. She is, obviously, the scientific genius of the crew.
Grant - A young human male who spent most of his teenage years modeling and some low budget acting. After awhile, he went through a training program and was eventually recruited to help with navigations on the Resolute. Grant took the personlity most actors take on, a cocky annoying attitude that makes him think he can have any female he wants, when he wants and where he wants. He seems to think everybody is in love with him, despite the many hints that they are not. Grant is, however, a smart guy when it comes to logical thinking and the electronics on the bridge.
Fabian - A 28-year-old half-German male, Fabian grew up in luxury. Coming from a family of immense wealth, the white-haired aristocrat entered into an officer's academy immediately after graduation from university. An incredibly gifted strategist, he came to the Resolute to fill the role as Chief Tactician aboard the ship. Fabian is extremely cold and distant, and is quick to treat anyone else as though they were beneath him. Despite his absolutely self-important demeanor, Fabian will take orders (although, sometimes only grudgingly) and refuses to leave a job half-finished. Most of the other personnel tend to avoid the man because of his short tone, and Fabian prefers it that way.
Artimus - Though a reptile creature like Burter Jr, Artimus's race is completely different then the reptilians. He's a greenish gold monster, about as tall as Bra, though a lot wider in terms of fat. His attitude is pretty laid back, as he's one of the friendlier people on board. Artimus runs the navigations panel, as well as serves as the cook on board. He cooks one mean burrito =o
George - An elder human, George used to one of the top military soldiers on Earth. Eventually, he retired and decided to live a quiet life on the Resolute. His experience gives him the role of mentor to everyone on the ship. Though he doesn't own the ship, George is widely considered one of the commanding officers on board. He is very protective of everybody, even the adults.
Sally - A human girl, at only eight years old. Like both Bra and BJ, Sally never spent much time with her parents, who neglected her at birth. Eventually, she ran away and was picked up by George, who opted to take care of her. Fun and innocent, Sally is the spirit of the ship, keeping everyone in a good mood. She acts as the maid and keeps everything tidy.
Jale - A middle-aged namek warrior, Jale often dreamed of exploring what was beyond his homeworld. Being poor and without the means to travel, Jale was absolutely elated to be offered a position aboard the Resolute. The very calm, collected namek is responsible for a great deal of maintenance to keep the ship running. He often keeps to himself, but is always polite and welcoming when approached.
Cesar - Nicknamed "Icepick", this young human male serves as one of the Resolute's best gunners. He doubles as an incredible computer whiz, able to solve software and hardware problems on the fly. The somewhat crazy Cesar loves to have fun, and often performs crazy stunts to get a laugh from someone who needs cheering up.
Shir - A blue-skinned female with green eyes and long, red hair. The attractive young alien is the head of security aboard the entire ship. Although her slender physique makes her appear weak, she's skilled in countless martial arts and self-defense disciplines. She's also an incredible shot with nearly any firearm. Shir tries to be very friendly to everyone onboard, but her feelings get hurt quite easily. In her spare time, Shir loves to organize small events for the crew to keep morale up, and rumor has it she's got incredible bartending skills.
Snowball - A kitty who found it's way onto the ship from Earth, and has since stuck around. Snowball keeps the crew showing their soft side. It's hard to stay mad at such a cute feline.
