Transport class ship 7734, or the Congressional Cruiser, was built by Spheritec Technologies for the 13 members of congress in the Alliance. The 7734 is a variation of the 7733 ship.
The ship was designed to be very flexible for the members of congress. The interior of the ship can be modified in any way with the exception of the location of the engine room and cockpit. This is accomplished by using Spheritec's "Universal ship build" products. The Universal system is the major difference between it and the 7733.
Because of the "Universal ship build" flexibility the hull and engines are unable to be modified without a major rebuild.
Specs:
The 7734 was built with dual TD-542 warp engines along with a standard array of thrusting engines.
It also comes equipped with the top of the line FTRW-707 shield array for the protection of the congressmen. The offensive capabilities of the ship are lacking with only one pair of SW-11 laser cannons mounted in the front of the ship. Most congressmen travel with escort ships on long trips allowing for the SW-11's to be more than efficient.
Spheritec also installed the leading AI into the ships allowing for a single person to control the ship without the help of a crew. Most of the time though the congressmen take a crew with them.
Trivia:
Only 13 of these ships were made for the 13 members of congress. They were intended to be passed down to the succeeding members of congress.
Congresswoman Janet Glukov lost her ship to what she said was a virus that attacked the ships on board AI. She claims that the ship took off without anyone on board and flew into the nearby sun. Spheritec made a statement stating that this was “absolutely impossible”, but despite this Spheritec reproduced her ship free of charge. Rumors are that Glukov lost the ship in a bet while playing poker. The congresswoman adamantly denies this though.
