Baumur Andromeda

The Baumur Andromeda, well what can you say? The ultimate in private space ships for a long time. Space traveling in a truly grand way.  The only ship with multiple decks and spacious enough to host your whole family and your mother-in-law...


The Baumur Andromeda was a secret project at Baumur Transports, code named "Tweety Bird". The first commercial models had two decks, later models were equipped with three and four decks, with latest models featuring a panorama lounge on decks three and four as an option.

An comprehensive options list made sure the prospective buyer was able to finish his or hers Andromeda to their specific taste. Baumur sold roughly 250.000 untis of the Andromeda until they replaced it with the more modern Orion Gazer.

Possibly the only downside was its sheer size. Due to having eight ionic pencils, the vessel needed to land and take-off on the busier transportation partition of a space port, as most ports do not support more than four ionic drivers on their recreational partition. Being a just a "pleasure boat" amongst big haulers and line ships this could lead to long wait times and physical inconveniences for the passengers. Potential physical inconveniences - like a long walk to the check-in area - were soon removed by Baumur when they offered a comfortable integrated flying car as an accessory. The owner and his party would just board the flying car and it would automatically home in on the reception area of the space port for check-in. Très chique...
