The Beauty Interstellar Ships are a series of large, curved vessels that are typically based off Dormant's old line of Star Cartographers scout ships. The Beauty-class were introduced in limited numbers during the war to sell to wealthy business-people as fast yet luxurious escape vessels, though typically served more as personal starships than as escape vessels. They were larger than the UNSC corvette or prowler, and were instantly recognisable among the population. The base design was incredibly fast, if fragile, for its size, allowing a dedicated scouting version to be created to map star systems and planet's surfaces, greatly assisting in the rebuild era.

Description
The curved semi-disk and the sweeping long engine sections created an immediate impact to anyone who looks upon the vessel. Though aesthetically pleasing and attractive, this design served a practical use by keeping size and weight to a minimum while maximising interior area, and as a bonus moves smoother and quicker through atmospheres. The engines, though vulnerable, were a practical place to mount heavy-duty engines which couldn't be placed on other designs because it allowed the engines to immediately vent heat out into space, so it saves cost on cooling systems. The forward disk was the most heavily-armored to protect the passengers, giving it a different, more tile-like look when compared to the rear.

The engines were the real reason for the ship's speed. Each had an independent reactor and, making the ship fast in both and realspace while not draining power from the main reactor, allowing the occupants to enjoy what they want whenever they want. Those same modules were also equipped with a full Life-Support system, doubling as escape pods if necessary.
