5.13 Personnel Transportation Systems
(Required for Size 5 and above)
Cost: 1 x Size for Jefferies tubes (only); 3 x Size for turbolifts and Jefferies tubes
Power Requirement: none for Jefferies tubes; 2 Power for turbolifts
Most starships are big enough that walking from one end to the other, not to mention climbing stairs between multiple decks, is slow and inconvenient. While ships of Size 4 and below can get by with normal walkways (but do not have to), ships of Size 5 and above usually need a turbolift transport system.
The crew also needs ways to move behind panels to access systems buried deep in the ship’s infrastructure. Jefferies tubes, as the standard access tunnels and utilities corridors on starships are known, network the entire ship.
SFC Technology Index
Personnel Transportation Systems technology is contracted out to various manufacturers by the shipwrights and is not standardized by generation nor ship size. Instead, nonfunctional or outdated turbolifts are swapped out and replaced and Jeffries tubes modernized as necessary, without having to upgrade and replace an entire transportation system. As such, Personnel Transportation Systems have no index.
