- Designed by the same design team as the Type-13, therefore it follows the same design principles as the much larger Type-13 and it shares much of the same features, strengths, and weaknesses as its bigger cousin.
- A craft with a massive amount of life support systems.
- Standard sensor suite.
- Standard navicomputers and maneuvering thrusters.
- Large and spacious corridors and passenger quarters, each passenger cabin has its own adjustable artificial gravity generator.
- Internal transportation network, including mini-speeders and rail lines for transporting people and droids.
- A hangar with space for shuttles to move about be boarded with little difficulty or hassle. The main boarding bay is, like the passenger-accessible portions of the ship, clean and luxurious. Under the main hangar is a more utilitarian maintenance hangar and supply hangars where they can receive supplies, equipment, parts, crew, etc.
- Powerful sublight engines, designed to elude capture or destruction due to the fact it has no weapons systems of its own.
- Very powerful reactors powering massive shield generator projectors, these are capital ship grade shields.
- Powerful transmitter arrays for both passenger and ship use, these transmitters are exorbitantly-powerful on purpose, so that if it is in danger it can call for help and expect to be heard.
- The ship has a massive number of luxury autochefs and droid servers, butlers, maids, etc. to maintain a minimal crew compliment along with large numbers of droid maintenance bays.
- Large public interior recreational spaces with a massive numbers of pools, gardens, parks, restaurants, bars, clubs, and other luxury facilities.
- Large number of plants, with some non-threatening exotic birds for ambience with an artificial environment system which replicates sunlight to keep all plants and people, feeling as though they are on an actual planet.
- Highly-automated systems for maintaining the ship's major and minor systems.
- A purpose-designed luxury passenger ship and yacht, can take a large number of passengers in exquisite comfort or in large numbers across the galaxy without trouble or it can be uniquely-designed to handle a single rich client's unique demands so long as weapons are left out.
- Large sublight engines can propel it at amazing speed for a ship its size, this is a safety mechanism to protect it against pirate raiders and privateers.
- Powerful particle shielding to prevent asteroid impact damage and boarding, alongside the obvious anti-piracy capability.
- Unarmed, this ship relies on speed and toughness, and possibly outside escort to protect itself.
- Security systems are lacking beyond basic anti-intruder lockdown protocols
- Much of the ship is very open, very inefficient use of all this space, if the hull is breached these large space will vent, and can kill thousands.
A relatively-simple ship, whose design is focused upon luxury and comfort for its crew and efficiency for its droids and crew in handling the ship, its systems, and its passengers' needs. The ship is designed as a primary people-mover of many transport companies and colonization firms. This ship is quite impressive in its flexibility, being able to fit in as a niche cruise liner for the rich and powerful, a large private yacht. In Crossroads Republic high society one hasn't made it if they don't have one of these ships with their own unique signature on it. As a consequence it is rather easy to see which Crossroads officials and governments who have access to these ships are the most corrupt judging by how lavish their Type-16's are. These ships staggeringly-common in Crossroads Republic space because they are also used as economic people-movers for commercial trips in and out of the system, but the ships are unfortunately the most-hijacked by pirates, due to the irresponsibility of adventurous corporate officials, rich individuals, and the ships' shields being weaker than others its design tree.
