Tough grizzled guy at the biker bar: "How I got these scars? Heh... that's a long story, kid" (scene fades into a montage of mundane household accidents: touching a hot pan, running into a door, slipping in the shower, cutting a bagel wrong, etc.)

Freight rocket Neon Navikea

Typical dry cargo freighter designed to service colonies without extensive spacing infrastructure. The engine, as insane as it sounds, is a real though somewhat tenuous proposal from NASA: NTRS.NASA.GOV/CITATIONS/19930015551 NTRS.NASA.GOV/CITATIONS/19920001892 DOI.ORG/10.2514/3.29778 DOI.ORG/10.2514/6.1991-3512

Space cruiser Tunguska Vermillion of the Vacuum Navy

The Thousand Greetings-class cruiser rockets (Sibirigo: Ис̄энбэину Ан̄юнхасо-кю сюн̄ёрокэ 'Issénbei-nu 'Ânniunhāsó-kiu Xiunnioróke [p=ʔisːɛꜜmbeinu aꜜɳːʉnħʌsoꜜcʉ ɕuɳːöɾoꜜkɛ]) are old and almost nostalgic-looking next to the austere wedge hulls of new spacecraft. They'd be long-obsolete without being gutted and filled with new equipment five times over, they've outlived almost every warship of their time and quite a few new classes. Many say they won't survive the next war between major space powers, many others counter that neither will the Earth and in the meantime they're serving just fine as the staple of power projection.

The Thousands were lucky enough to have installed the best-aging engine model to date, a massive tower of electrified pistons with a specific impulse and thrust so far above their peers that it took decades for any other tech to come close. They used to be almost torpedo-proof since little else could catch up to them. The generous nose space freed up by shrinking electronics was just enough to mount a shiny new ultra-relativistic electron beam bombard in recent years, a proof that the admiralty want it to hang around for at least a decade more.

The SSS Tunguska Vermillion (Sib. ССС Туг̄уска Вамирён Sánesu Tūngûska Vamirión [saꜜnɛsɯ tuŋːuꜜskɐ βʌmiɾʲöꜜɴ]) is the oldest Thousand still in use, being third of twelve vessels built in total. Despite the ridiculous length of one kilometer, its crew isn't any bigger than on a seagoing cruiser. Much of the space is taken up by fuel charges, heat sinks, torpedoes and armor. Only a small crew section in the center is pressurized.

Side note: all the features on this vessel are designed to work with real life physics and consulted with a bunch of people smarter than me, including actual engineers. Yes, even the nuke engine. Especially the nuke engine. It was featured on several real-life spacecraft proposals of the US government.

Also of note, the SSS Autumn Plutonia and SSS Hazel Dynamo

No offense but I think some of you would be a lot happier writing a fictional atlas or encyclopedia instead of a narrative story
