Re: CUSTOM: Spelljammer -=- The Next Generation

GODJAMMERS
The Godjammers are vessels whose propulsion system is god force. For 

HOLY AVENGER STARFIGHTER
For example, a Paladin of Ptah could have a +5 Holy Avenger one-man 
starship, which would basically be a sword-shaped hull with hilt "wings", 
covered in silver and able to float and fly at SR 4 or 5 by virtue solely of 
the Deus Vult - "God Wills It" power of Ptah. Of course it would only fly off 
when Ptah wished the Paladin to go on a quest, unless the Paladin was 
high enough level to be granted a semipermanent spelljamming field around 
his ship as a boon from his god.
There are many similar vessels - Thor Mjolnirjammers, Chronepsis 
"Kugelblitz" starfighters, etc.

JIHAD CLASS WARSHIPS
Jihad class vessels are spelljammer catamaran hulled battlecruisers. In 
place of a Helm they have a High Fane to a deity, as appropriate to the 
deity. It might be a place of beauty and light with stained glass windows 
and choirs; it might be a torture chamber with a blood-spattered altar 
rock choked with cobwebs and chains. Constant prayers and/or sacrifice 
maintain the motive force of the vessel, so whenever it is moving, its 
religious services are being conducted, and as it is a warship in a Holy 
War, these services regenerate clerical spells for the priests on board 
quickly and allow divination and other rituals to be used incessantly to 
provide "sensor information" for the craft. 
Religions that utilise Jihad class warships almost without exception 
teach that any crewmember, from most humble to most holy, goes straight 
to the abode of the blessed should they die in the cause on board. The 
vessels usually resemble a High Cleric's stronghold or cathedral mounted 
on a circular, hexagonal or octagonal (or pentacle, trident, etc.) 
platform of rock, with appropriate religious symbols, pennons, etc. 
decking out the outer areas.
Evil and Good clerical effects are focussed through an enormous 
mizzenmast in the form of the (un)holy symbol, so that space battles can 
include gigantic spectral hands swiping each other's ships, silvery white 
Turning effects scattering an evil Jihad-class's undead crew, or baleful 
black energies pouring through the chapel on a LG vessel, exploding its 
inner sanctum and causing the whole vessel to delist.

WISHJAMMERS
A properly worded set of wishes can indeed create an Arabian Nights or 
Mystaran spelljamming ship, unable to be adversely affected by the ire of 
the gods and goddesses. These "wishjammers" each have a unique drive, 
which must have a unique fuel, such as chocolate biscuits, penguin sweat, 
gold coins, etc. This fuel is fed into a jade idol which takes the place 
of the Helm and functions as if a furnace or artifurnace. SR is between 2 
and 3 usually. Wishjammers are all on the small side since their 
creators' limited mortal intelligences are unable to create a spelljammer 
much over a Tradesman in size.

PLANEJAMMERS
With the exception that these ornate, powerful and outerplanar being- 
crewed vessels originate in an Outer Plane and are as comfortable flying 
through the Planes as they are in the Prime's wildspace, they are very 
similar to large "conventional" spelljammers. Beings unable to function a 
Prime deities build and use these craft for their own reasons. Some of 
them have fallen into cutters' hands of course. Most of these vessels 
would be classed as Furnace driven or Psihelm driven under the older 
spelljammer rules. The cutters who use them mostly call spelljammers 
"superannuated", ie old and old-fashioned.

CHRONOJAMMERS
The legendary and insane to some vessels that fly from 420,000,000 BCE to 
the far future and sometimes stop off in wildspace between Temporal Prime 
jaunts are almost all products of the time-exiled city-state of Pangea in 
the dinosaurian distant past. They include the Rosebud class time sleds 
(crew 4, SR 1 in space, 100 years/turn in TP Man C E) all the way up to 
the Melchizedek class Temporal Dreadnoughts, with Chronohelms or 
Chronofurnaces generating the effects of a high-level Chronomantic spell 
or "just" insanely powerful Psionic or Magical dimensional travel or 
"warping" or "spacefolding" effects. Even the gods shudder at what the 
creation of these vessels by the rogue Chronomancers portend.
