This Clan Technology page contains basic information on the types of ships used by the Poku Saeruo Degonjo.

Poku'vonai ships are rarely all new construction; components of retired ships are reused to continue the legacy of that ship. This is also done to conserve factory resources. Typically components such as hulls, systems and crew spaces are constructed. Weapons and drive systems installed are reused, and or salvaged from other clan vessels.

Ships are also normally part of a Family's holdings, so keeping them in service is a matter of family honor. Vessels are sometimes built for a family by a House or Sect, or the Galysumanâ'ai (Government) may assign ships to a Family.

These are the basic starship types of the Poku'vonai.

The Hatakur'a (Hunter)-class are gunships. Designed for minimum crew requirements, and feature normally 2 to 4 Prowler Fighters, depending on actual size. Hunter-class ships are very utilitarian, to the point that they might be described as spartan, as they have no luxury features. Their STL engines are more powerful than their FTL engines. Hunter-class ships have the maximum amounts of armor and shields possible. Their weapons are powerful, but are designed for precise hits since they want their prey as intact as possible.

The Ismâo'a searcher are the scout ships for the Clan, and can be considered escort ships. While they are armed, they are not intended for combat.

These ships have a balance of STL and FTL engines. They incorporate the Clan's best stealth technology, as well as sensors and communications.

The Wadâmo'a harvester ships are basically mobile scrap yards. They have FTL drives and STL.

The Ta'aka (Messenger) ships, HS-E1 Messengers, are small, fast ships capable of carrying a modest amount of cargo, and equipped with additional digital data storage. Their primary purpose is to relay important digital information. In many cases, these ships relay information to far-venturing hunting groups, and they also use their cargo storage to help resupply these hunters. Messengers normally travel to predetermined rendezvous points where the clan ships meet. In particularly critical situations, they will be sent to seek out a specific hunting group wherever they might be.

This is the class of ship that carried the Poku'vonai from their original home to the Hidden Sun.

Over the centuries the World Station has grown and expanded, it features large indoor parks and forests which supplement the station's life support system. There are 12 city states in the station, one for each Ark.
