In day to day life, many wanted to explore the vast universe and its ever growing population of stars and potentially habitable planets. They slowly but surely came together to for the non-militarized organization now known as ParaStellar Travel Industries, Inc. (PTI) This company began to make vessels fit for scientific research on the behavior of stars, interstellar stargazing, and much more. Some of their ships, if not most, have been made in conjunction with the Republic and its allies, such as Greenfire Industries.
The Formicidae-class observatory has space for several hundred people. It's six Observatory arms are topped with glass balls, where the gravity generators don't reach. Eventually, PTI hopes to make these arms retractable, for more efficient FTL jumps. Named after Terran ants (All which belong to the family Formicidae) due to its six arms, nimbleness, and versatility. The Formicidae-class observatories are PTI's first solo starship project. It has gone surprisingly well.
The Elk-Class Solarium is specifically built with endurance in mind. Its max occupancy is only a meager 48 souls, but they are all put to good use. This ship was built in cooperation with Greenfire Industries and is meant to study irregular solar events, such as solar flares, storms, and bursts. It has Tardigrade cell-infused paint on its frontal armor plating to allow it to soak up immense radiation and heat.
The Mikrelian Civilian transport is designed with cheap transportation as the only goal in mind. This ship was obviously built in Mikrelian ship yards. With the Jonian threat on the rise, it is the only ship designed by PTI to have a weapons system.
This PTI Diplomacy Craft is vital to keeping the peace in the Sombrero Galaxy. PTI, being an independent third party is always the go to for negotiating. They are armed with ebolts to disarm and PD to defend against missiles.
The PTI Executive Transport is another critical component to negotiations. The PTI Exec Craft Brings important people to the Diplomacy Craft.
