Overview

From the back of the book:

Here is the definitive work describing mankind's method of transportation between the stars. Bound into the volume are ComStar Intelligence Summary FB-60 and excerpts from the standard 'DropShips and JumpShips Operations Manual'.

The intelligence summary discusses the five major types of JumpShips and 20 major types of DropShips as well as examples of small craft and even space stations. Each entry includes an illustration of the ship as well as detailed descriptions and statistics.

The operations manual includes essays on the designs of DropShips and JumpShips, descriptions of the general components of each type of vessel, and extensive game rules covering all aspects of their operation and maintenance.
