  In this work we provide a framework for modeling compact stars in which the
interior matter distribution obeys a generalised Chaplygin equation of state.
The interior geometry of the stellar object is described by a spherically
symmetric line element which is simultaneously comoving and isotropic with the
exterior spacetime being vacuum. We are able to integrate the Einstein field
equations and present closed form solutions which adequately describe compact
strange star candidates like Her X-1, RX J 1856-37, PSRJ 1614-2230 and SAX
J1808.4-3658.
