Lifeboats

Cost (in BP): 3
A lifeboat is a more sophisticated version of an escape pod. Its cockpit has room for one Large creature, or two Medium or smaller creatures, and the small rear cabin has room for four Large creature, or eight Medium or smaller creatures.

Stored in the cargo section is enough supplies to last those passengers 10 days. It is also fitted with a distress beacon that is easily identified by long-range scanners. An on-board computer automatically detects the nearest hospitable celestial body, and the crew can use the crafts minimal thrusters to get the craft there (though a lifeboat can’t participate in starship combat)

A single expansion bay can be converted to house two lifeboats.

Often times lifeboats are used as makeshift shuttles, ferrying passengers or cargo between starships and space stations. Some lifeboats can go between atmospheric planets and orbit, assuming optimum safe weather conditions and preplanned ground-to-orbit rendezvous (DM Discretion).
