• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

Lift Ship

"You're jerking my chain, right? There's no way in hell that I'm spending millions on sending a rocket into space if we just let half of it sink to the bottom of the ocean." — Soren Van Wyk

A ship designed to help lift smaller ships from atmospheric or low orbital fight into higher orbits. This can be done a variety of ways from docking, to tethers.

Typically, this type of ship is used heavily in developing systems that are still too small to have massive amounts of emplaced space infrastructure. They are also common to see in expeditionary fleets to help get equipment off the surface, or near gas giants where fueling fleets may need assistance returning to stations.
