Design philosophy: The Rambunctious class of role-playing game spaceship design is intended to be very robust and intimidating. The forward viewports are intended to resemble a pair of threatening eyes and the unknown designer somewhere back in the game’s prehistory went as far as to add faintly visible sensor beams which project forward as a threatening special effect.

But their jump drives are woefully underpowered, if an opponent gets away then it is unlikely that the Rambunctious class ship will catch it. There is nothing fancy about the design. The non player character AIs at the core of each spacecraft are equally without sophistication.
Unusual characteristics: The bridge window mounted sensor beams and a lack of complexity are distinguishing features. This spaceship design has only one weapons system, poor FTL, the design is intended exclusively as a tough foe.
Extent of use: The Rambunctious is an ancient design which can be found throughout the Tarazet role-playing game setting. It is not unusual to find these spaceships in action in areas of the game universe which were not known to have been part of the Precursor Empire. Either they traveled beyond the borders of the ancient extent of human space, or it was bigger than imagined.
Main internal areas: The Rambunctious has only the bare essentials when it comes to internal areas. There is a bridge, astrogation and tactics, crew quarters, escape pods, med bay and only one grav lift.
