Additionally, if counted by the number of cannons (three per battery), then the Sunrider possesses twelve Savior cannons altogether, which makes far too many for the nickname to make sense.

There is also a discrepancy in the number of the Sunrider's trinities - in the Novel, Ava is nicknamed the 'Seventh Savior' by the crew, but the Sunrider only possesses four Savior Batteries two along the front and two more on the back.

It is however possible that this was an auxiliary shield generator, which subsequently burned out because it was not designed to withstand the amount of energy that the vessel's then-absent primary generator was meant to take. In most instances though, the emergency landings can be justified as getting the Ryders out of harm's way in situations where they may also carry a storm of harmful debris with their 'warp envelope' - such as when escaping the Starship Graveyard at the Nomodorn Corridor - or recovering them from combat-situations where they have suffered severe damage or ammunition-depletion - such as at Far Port and Helion.Īdditionally, the Sunrider in the game itself was described as having not had any form of shielding during or immediately after the Battle of Cera, but the Novelization instead depicts the vessel having a working shield generator with which to counteract the Legion's attack, which burns out as a result. Alternatively though, this could quite simply be the maximum number of crew the ship could carry as opposed to it's then-current count, or the number of crew the vessel was expected to have prior to being forced into deployment with a skeleton crew at the Battle of Cera.Īn inconsistency arises regarding the Ryders always needing to dock with or board the Sunrider before the ship warps out, even having story elements dedicated emergency landings being done to guarantee this, whereas in the game and cannon a vessel's warp-field allows it to 'pull' small-scale objects such as Ryders along with it so long as they remain within 1,000 meters of the vessel's hull when it 'jumps'. There is a discrepancy in the Novelization regarding the crew's size, as it states that the Sunrider was manned by roughly 90 naval officers of varying ranks and duties, along with roughly 270 engineers engineers and technicians and three dozen marines along with a host of civilian contractors and other ancillary staff - at least seven or eight times the 50-crew compliment that supposedly serves as the vessel's limit. For the sake of avoiding a collapse of the narrative, the author has stated they intend to persist with the differences, which are noted here simply for the sake of clarification.

The Novelization, being an 'Official' but explicitly non-canon interpretation of Sunrider as recognized by Love In Space depicts the Sunrider slightly differently than the canon description of the vessel, with several features that are either different from the cannon at worst or entirely up for interpretation at best. In the Novelization, the ship initially has an auxiliary-generator that is burnt out during it's escape from Cera. A shield can later be procured from the store. The bridge is actually at the centermost of the ship for maximum protection.Īlthough the Sunrider was intended to be equipped with a energy shield generator, Cera was attacked by PACT before it could be installed.

The topmost point of the Sunrider isn't the bridge, but an observation deck designed to be used as last resort for making optical observations in case of shadow operations or ECM attacks, which, like the Mess Hall, have armored plates that slide shut over the windows in case of combat. This sliding-bulkhead countermeasure is also utilized for the Sunrider's Ryder-deployment system to seal it after the Ryders are launched, which in turn connects to a large central hanger bay that can carry a maximum of twelve Ryders.

All windows inside the quarters are actually holographic (showing what would be seen using the Sunrider's multiple sensors), and the ones in the Mess Hall contain armored sliding walls that close during combat protecting the interior (there are sliding walls too in the cabinets to avoid the loss of supplies). With enough space for it's crew of 50, it also has exclusive quarters for both the captain and the First Officer, and a Mess Hall. With the hangar at deck 2 (the lowest part) below the bridge, the Sunrider concentrates its armament on top of its hull, and the Vanguard cannon taking up space throughout the length of the ship. Measuring 735 meters of length, the Sunrider is consistently described as a behemoth, but a sleek looking one.
