This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the
GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial
redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on
a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until
I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these
days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml

Worldship v1.0 (TL10^)
Copyright 2010 by Onno Meyer
When it is not possible to use starships to evacuate a planet, perhaps
the planet can be turned into a starship. The worldship is a world which
mounts a hyperdrive and supporting systems to leave the home system. The
capacity of roughly 5,000,000 trillion occupants is necessary because it
takes almost that many to run the worldship.
The worldship has a 3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000-ton (SM+45) hull.
