Default Cockpit Description

Cramped and framed by viewscreens, this tight compartment provides a trio of acceleration couches with only room enough for a pilot, engineer, and communications officer. Data from outside the craft is relayed to the cockpit occupants via a holographic heads-up display, providing both a view from the ship and supplemental graphic navigation, trajectory, and tactical information overlays. The acceleration couches are mounted upon gyroscopic devices which allow them to twist and rotate with the ship during acceleration and maneuvering.

Default Main Cabin Description

"Roomy" is hardly an apt descriptor for the general quarters of this little starship, and what available space exists has been bisected widthwise into two unidentical sections by a paneled partition.

The largest of the two subcompartments is a cozy but comfortable commercial cabin with accommodations for ten. Two rows of soft leather seats are separated by a short aisle and illuminated by twin strips of fluorescent tracklighting which parallel both overhead storage and the vessel's spine. Running the entire length of the inboard bulkheads, from the massive servos and actuators accompanying the airlock doors to the curtained mouth of the partition at the fore, are floor-to-ceiling squares of upholstered crash padding whose uninspired blue monochrome is broken up by long, wide viewports.

Forward, a service nook is tucked away behind the curtain, out of sight from the fares and almost claustrophobic in its size. It is this tiny sliver of space that the skipper has allocated toward her personal use: to the starboard of the cockpit's heavy hatch, a small efficiency kitchenette and sanitizing unit are set into the wall, barely big enough to turn around in, and portside a rope hammock is tied not a foot above the trapdoor which descends into the engine room.

Default Engineering Description

Every square inch of the compact aft compartment is dedicated to the transport's beating heart. Huge tachyon turbines - the core of the FTL drive - are fed by power couplings in fat, reinforced shells and simple slip-fit conduits from the massive fusion reactor, while redundant systems and the various esoteric components of the freighter's artificial atmosphere generator trace topological puzzles amid catwalks, cabling, and ductwork. Color is scattered throughout the claustrophobic space by way of glittering telltales and signal lights, twinkling stars in an otherwise harshly-illuminated sea of grim, gray machinery.

Default Cargo Hold Description

Tucked into the bottommost deck of the Veren-class freighter, this low space is formed by the ship's skeletal framework and sculpted hull panels; simple, spartan, and pragmatic. Unheated and supported by minimal atmo, it is lit by a handful of small grille-shielded lamps, each a globe of illumination casting gray shadows along the ship's metal ribs and into each coffered niche. The walls are lined with a sophisticated rack and anchorage system, permitting a variety of cargo configurations to maximize available capacity. A set of heavy, triple-reinforced bay doors set into the floor provide access for loading, while an overhead pressure door allows one to return to the ship's engine room.
