Ground rules, this is tech level 10 Starship with a jump-1 drive with enough jump fuel to make two consecutive 1 parsecs jumps necessary to reach Alpha Centauri. This version of Starship has a maneuver-2 drive or better to lift off of Earth's surface, it has the same volume as the SpaceX Starship without the Superheavy booster, it fits into an alternate timeline Tech Level 10 Earth set in the present (2020 AD). I'd like to see what people come up with.

The dimensions of the starship upper stage give it an approximate Traveller volume of ~200t.

My CT take on it would be to build it as follows:
bridge 20t
computer model 2 for 2 tons
jump A 10t
maneuver B 3t
power plant B 7t
jump fuel 80t - enough to get there and back
power plant fuel 40t enough for 8 weeks
7 crew staterooms 28t
10t cargo
After a base is established and a fuel supply secured then version 2 could reduce the fuel capacity to 40t of jump fuel and 20t of power plant fuel and increase the cargo capacity or allow for the transport of smallcraft, grav vehicles, more passengers depending on mission profile to take stuff to build a bigger outpost.
