Spaceships Components and Systems Dictionary is a comprehensive reference work dedicated to the inner workings of spacecraft as imagined in science fiction and speculative engineering. Each entry explains a specific component or system in clear and accessible language, focusing on how it functions and why it is important within the broader structure of a ship. The book avoids technical diagrams or illustrations, relying instead on carefully written explanations that capture both the practical and conceptual value of each part.
Readers will find detailed accounts of propulsion units, power grids, defensive measures, and navigation systems, all presented in a consistent format that makes the information easy to follow. This dictionary is designed for writers, world-builders, and enthusiasts who want to understand or create believable star-faring vessels. By breaking complex technologies into structured descriptions, the book provides a foundation for storytelling and creative design.
Whether a reader is imagining a small scout craft or a massive battleship, this resource offers the vocabulary and insight needed to bring those ships to life.
