	Starships can be categorized by size, based upon their mass. The following table details the Size scale, Length, Beam and Height ranges and Structural Unit (SU) amount, according to the ship’s mass.~~<br><br>~~		Starships can be categorized by size, based upon their mass. The following table details the Size scale, Length, Beam and Height ranges and Structural Unit (SU) amount, according to the ship’s mass.

			Note: Length is generally the deciding dimension, but all four may be considered for the final decision.
