Inheritorworks, a subsidiary of Sanjaval Spaceflight Systems, specializes in starships sold almost exclusively to the church of Iomedae and the Knights of Golarion. While most of these vessels are designed to work in larger fleet formations, Crusader-class starships are designed to house up to eight knights for long-range missions where support is limited. Crews are given more-comfortable living arrangements in individualized apartments split across two decks, as they're expected to stay on mission for months at a time. Rather than take up space with repair bays and science labs, crews keep spare weapons and stockpiled munitions in the cargo hold so they can spend their time focused on the goals at hand. A brig ensures that any criminals they capture can be properly detained.
In keeping with the majestic and intimidating nature of the faith, the entire ship has been designed to look like the Iomedaean sword, complete with starburst design. The main weapon systems are both forward-facing along the “blade” of the ship: a persistent particle beam and heavy antimatter missile launcher to pack the biggest punch against the hardest targets. The starburst corona houses a laser net capable of protecting the starship from incoming tracking weapons, and the “cross-guard” section holds the ship's bridge.
When Knights of Golarion are given the title of knight-errant and captaincy of their own ship, they often choose and customize a Crusader to benefit their hand-picked crew. Its relatively flexible design enables a crew to ensure the ship feels like home during the long months away as they enforce their law throughout the galaxy.
