Well, ships are derivative from the universe they come from. So, you have to have at least a basic idea of what kind of universe these ships would be found in, even if you never write stories about any of it.

Not unless you consider 'BattleTech meets Wing Commander' and,-um-that's it a universe.

'Go ahead. Bake my quiche'.
'Undead or alive, you're coming with me.'
'Detritus?'-'Yessir?'-'Never go to Klatch'.-'Yessir.'
'Many fine old manuscripts in that place, I believe. Without price, I'm told.'-'Yes, sir. Certainly worthless, sir.'-'Is it possible you misunderstood what I just said, Commander?'
