DESCRIPTION:

   The Psi Corps motherships were a type of ship, secretly operated by Psi Corps in the years leading up to the Telepath War.

   The ships themselves were heavily modified Asimov class commercial liners and would spend the vast majority of the time in hyperspace, staying out of sight while ferrying missions back and forth, coming into normal space only when in need of repairs.

DESIGN NOTES

   The Psi Corp Mothership has been written up as a modified Asimov Liner.  In that, it has greater length to take into account its larger engines, which also grant it more speed and maneuverability.  It also has improved hull, sensors, and a good weapons package for a ship of its size and general purpose.  In return, this Asimov variant also gives up a good share of its cargo capacity and passenger space.  Some of that space more than likely is for prisoners apprehended by the Psi Corp.  Note that these prisoners will almost never be "Mundanes", people with no telepathic abilities, as the psi Corp is known to jettison any Mundane criminals they apprehend, wether in persuit of other renegade telepaths or not.

   While not listed here, it is also VERY likely that the Psi Corp Mothership has stealth capabilities similar to that of the Stealth Starfury.  If GMs/players wish, they can simply apply the stealth rules for the Stealth Starfury to the Psi Corp Mothership on a capital scale.
