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

This room runs down the center of the ship from fore to aft. The walls of the room are a soft gray and are padded for the safety of the passengers, and the lighting is soft. The floor is covered in gray metal deckplates. At the aft end beside the airlock is a ladder leading up to the bridge. Hatchways lead to the cargo hold and engineering.

Disembark from here.

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.
