Shadowcaster
The Positronic ship piloted by the A.I. called A.M.I It is relatively fast, maneuverable, and heavily armed. It is a large fighter/bomber type ship.
Description
This ship is obviously designed to be more utilitarian than pleasing to the eye. It is a medium-sized fighter/bomber type ship. The hull is painted a deep, dark muddy brown, meant to hide the ship against the darkness of space while still giving it some visibility. The front end of the ship is in the shape of a long, oblong cylinder, with various antennae and two long, rather powerful-looking high energy plasma cannons protruding from the very front. The middle of the ship is long and streamlined, serving as an airlock and a bridge between the bow of the ship and the four large, rectangular thrusters adorning the back, branching off the ship in a vaguely triangular shape. The back also contains a small compartment for storage that hangs down underneath the thrusters, which shelter it from the harshness of space. Ten smaller turrets adorn the ship in various places, with the very back containing the highest concentration at four.
Room Layout/Descs
Cockpit
This relatively large cockpit strangely does not contain any windows. Instead, there is a large monitor on the front wall of the room, showing the viewpoint of a front-mounted camera. Three other monitors rest next to it, showing the two sides of the ship on two of the monitors, and the very back on another. There are five chairs present in the cockpit, one for navigation and four for turret control, though all such actions are usually controlled by the ship’s AI. There are various panels on the walls, and mounted on the right wall is a fire safety kit that reads “Safety first!” in large pink letters, complete with a coolant hose in case of electrical fire and a fire blanket in case the first malfunctions. Even with the size of the cockpit, it seems cramped due to all the equipment.
=Airlock/Central chamber
This is a long, round corridor with a very stark look and feel. The only thing that varies in the room are the two doors to the engine room and cockpit on either side, and the large hatch near the aft that leads to storage. A section of the starboard wall itself opens into a ramp when boarding or disembarking, and there is a small, square-shaped hatch above just in case. Three spacesuits of varying sizes hang on the wall opposite the main door.
Engine Room
This room is cramped and small, with only a few tight corridors for movement. Most of the room is taken up by valves and electrical wiring, though there are a few control panels on the walls for remote rewiring or maintenance, usually eliminating the need to use the corridors. The room is not pleasant to be in for any long amount of time due to the immense heat generated by the engines themselves.
Storage/Observation
This is a fairly roomy area, containing many different containers of varying sizes and shapes. The room is like one huge window, the walls themselves lined with screens that depict what’s going on outside the room in real time, all the time. This does not compromise the safety or storage space of the room, however, for the screens are thin and tough, and the outside is lined with the same strong alloy as the rest of the ship.
