Line 116:
* The Eldar Craftworlds in ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]''. They do have FTL-capabilities, but since they are essentially spacefaring colonies designed to house the survivors of the Fall, they count.
** Most Imperial ships (at least, interstellar ones) are this - their bigger ships frequently have issues with the spontaneous development of mutant tribes and other wildlife in rarely visited parts of the hulls. According to ''[[Rogue Trader]]'' crew numbers for common ship classes are between 15 and 150 thousands, so for logistical reasons it's almost inevitable that a ship which served for millennia is crewed mostly by the descendants of the original crew. Which is why ''[[Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay]]'' series have "[[Space People|Void Born]]" origin on par with homeworld types (this includes both ships and space stations, of course).
* The early science fiction game "Metamorphosis Alpha" from TSR was set on one of these. It was reworked later as the Amazing Engine setting book "Metamorphosis Alpha To Omega".
* ''[[GURPS]]: Spaceships'' has the uses the traditional concept for the ''Universe'' and ''Endeavor''. The third ship is the ''Magellan'' which carries 20 thousand people in luxury at [[Faster-Than-Light Travel|FTL]] speeds, allowing for ridiculously long trips.
