# About This Book

*Crown Meridian Ship Catalog, Armored Hulls of the Irnan Directorate for Void Drifters. Source: https://oldwest.exodusnds.com/sourcebooks/crown-meridian/about*

Eight ship lines and eighteen hulls, from a marine boarding craft to a convoy carrier, with every generation of every line, the components only Crown builds, and the rules for buying, servicing and upgrading them.

**Crown Meridian sells the ship that is still there at the end of the fight.** Its hulls trade cargo flexibility, atmospheric grace, a quiet signature and comfort for armor, damage control and security. Each generation changes which of those trades the buyer accepts.

*This book is a companion to the Void Drifters Vehicles Manual.* It prints Crown's hulls in full and assumes the Vehicles Manual for the ship rules, and the Exodus NDS core rules beneath it.

**Generations are letters.** A CM-440 is the first. The CM-440A and CM-440B follow. Newer is usually better, and sometimes an older ship was simply better.
