Sekhmet-Class 1,250,000-Ton Medical Ship

A Mongoose 2e design. Dubbed the Life Star, the Sekhmet (the only ship her class will likely ever support) was built at the behest of Hadros hault-Greckos, one of the wealthiest men in Charted Space (at least he was before he spent all this money!). The ship (Hadros insisted it be the largest ship ever constructed) is only possible because of his staggering wealth as the price tag is... extreme: TCr2.32 with everything as the first (and likely only) ship in the class.

The medical ship has 5,000 medical bays with a total of 15,000 Advanced AutoDocs, and an additional 300,000 Advanced AutoDocs in low berth racks for holding additional patients that are being worked on. As they have robotic medics, that leaves the sophont medics (10,000 on the ship alone) free for helping the neediest into care as quickly as possible.

The ship carries 2,000 Apollo-Class 95-Ton Medivac Shuttles that are almost as fast as they are expensive. Each can race to a disaster site (with 16 medics (32,000 in all for a total of 42,000) and a pilot) and return with 102 patients at a time. 500 Middle Passenger shuttles get the healed off the ship once their stay is complete.

The ship, its crew, and support equipment are funded by an ironclad and irrevocable trust (a whopping big one as the expenses for the ship are BCr10 a maintenance period.) that will see this ship at the forefront of disaster response long after Hadros has died, and that suits him fine. His family screamed bloody murder and tried (and failed) to have the courts stop him, and that suited him even better.
