Terran Technology
Terra is called "Earth" by its inhabitants. Sierran Intelligence has studied this planet, classified as SK-3, for many centuries. The Terrans share a remarkably similar external appearance with the Sierran race. The famous Sierran fighter pilot Talon has performed many covert reconnaissance missions amongst the Terran people, blending in with the population with ease. The Terrans have achieved limited interstellar capability.
The "Betty"
The "Betty" is a typical Terran long-range freighter of her generation. A complex, muscular, modular design with massive drive engines for both space and atmospheric flight. The giant out-rigger thrust pods swivel to direct their thrust. Like other Terran ships of her time, the Betty devotes most of her mass to the oversized powerplants and the fuel tanks that feeds their tremendous energy requirements. The crew must spend long periods in suspended animation chambers during long duration missions, during which time the onboard master AI controls all ship functions.. They are awakened only for crtical aspects of the mission such as docking and in-flight emergencies, other pre-programmed events or as needs arise.
