R.S. Honshu

The R.S. Honshu is an Interplanetary Corporation Type-7 multipurpose rocket built in the latter half of the 26th century. It belongs to Captain Harridor Tarsik of the Service and is therefore the ship most heavily featured in the namesake book series Rocket Riders of the 27th Century.

Quick Facts

 * The Honshu's frame is constructed of solid titanium, since older neutron rockets could shake apart a ship if she wasn't built sturdily enough.
 * Tarsik purchased the aging hulk of the Honshu for only 2,000 credits, a sum he had won playing cards in a seedy bar on Arcturus IV.
 * It took Tarsik four years to save the nearly 10,000 credits it would cost to get Honshu spaceworthy again.
 * Around 2672 Tarsik had a holographic emitter installed into the table of the conference room.
 * Most of the ships modifications over the years were done by Novan engineers.
