![]() The Presidential transport is equipped with a positive-gravity rotating
section for the passenger's comfort. Naturally, the accomidations are opulent.
There is a minimum of a flight of fighters escorting Earth Force One, and there
are facilities to refuel and change pilots without interrupting flight. Thus,
an absolute minimum of 4 starfuries are in the air at all times. There
are four heat sinks/solar collectors connected to the drive section. The large
heat sinks allow the fusion drive to operate at high temperatures and thus the
reaction drive is more fuel efficent. Beacuse of this fuel efficency, while the
total drive output is not exceptional, it can burn longer, resulting in shorter
travel times. EF1 can traverse yellow jumps (restricted to fast ships) routinely,
and is also equipped with the sensors and speed to traverse dotted red jumps
(restricted to military craft) if required. The solar panels also allow the
ship's life support to remain powered if the main drives fail. The interceptor
system is concealed during normal flight, and most are unaware it exists. Internal
security is tight, controlled by the EA Secret Service. Finally, this ship
has excellent communications gear and numerous escape pods.
