| - | **Cargo Area: The vast majority of the ship is taken up by a single enormous chamber, which stretches almost the full length of the ship and indeed most of its height – 750 meters long, 440 meters wide and 195m tall. This chamber is lightened by LED panels in the ceiling and walls. While traveling the cargo area is usually kept under increased gravity to reduce movement – the amount of gravity depends on the capacity of that which is being transported – up to 10g. In other situations it can produce anti-gravity up to 10 ag, or produce a particularly powerful 0g zone – ensuring that external gravity can’t impact upon it. In addition to this the chamber is filmed with thousands of [[stararmy:graviton beam projector|Graviton Beam Projectors]] which are capable of ensuring that everything remains stationary or a variety of other tasks. These beams can also allow for incredibly tall columns of cargo or suspensions. One other feature is numerous force-field generators inside the chamber whose purpose is to seal any fracture made in the hull – often working in tandem with the graviton generator to create innovative solutions using the cargo. | + | Cargo Area: The vast majority of the ship is taken up by a single enormous chamber, which stretches almost the full length of the ship and indeed most of its height – 750 meters long, 440 meters wide and 195m tall.

| - | **Lounge: For longer journeys the lounge is necessary to break tension. It is actually not a particularly large room – it contains a sofa, a leather chair and two cabinets – one containing board games, the other containing a variety of Elysian Wines. The décor is soothing blue and black and there is a fine music projection system. The crew eats in the lounge – always prepared and artificially delicious meals. | + | Lounge: For longer journeys the lounge is necessary to break tension.

| - | **Chapel: For the religious needs of the crew there is a small chapel on board, effectively a prayer stool and an altar – on which is an item placed by an Exarch. The item is thought to bring the crew the protection of God while travelling. The lights are fairly dim and the walls and ceiling are covered with religiously meaningful pictures. | + | Chapel: For the religious needs of the crew there is a small chapel on board, effectively a prayer stool and an altar – on which is an item placed by an Exarch.

| - | **Cabins: There are five separate cabins on the ship, with no particular distinctions between them. They are all relatively spacious, with a single bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and a writing desk. The color scheme is usually blue – and a certain degree of personalisation is tolerated. | + | Cabins: There are five separate cabins on the ship, with no particular distinctions between them.

| - | **Shuttle bay: Above the living area is a relatively large shuttle bay, with the capacity to carry three large shuttles. The bay is accessed by a lift from the living area which can also serve to bring additional cargo down to the primary storage area. The doors to the shuttle bay work on much the same way as those in the central cargo area – reinforced door with selective shielding system. | + | Shuttle bay: Above the living area is a relatively large shuttle bay, with the capacity to carry three large shuttles.

| - | **Armoured Hull: ** The Lanethron has a particularly strong hull – consisting of three metres of Elysian super-hard armour material, layered over this are ablative scales. The non-ablative hull is three metres thick, with 0.5 metre thick ablative scales on top. There are no windows or obvious weak-points on the ships armour – the doors are especially armoured. Thus the Lanethron is particularly hard to damage seriously. | + | Armoured Hull: The Lanethron has a particularly strong hull – consisting of three metres of Elysian super-hard armour material, layered over this are ablative scales.

| - | **Blast Shutters: There are blast shutters is several strategically placed areas – largely in order to save the crew if the main cargo area is pierced. In this situation these four inch thick carbon-boride doors slam down at the lift, main access to the cargo area and shuttle bay – effectively sealing the Living Area in. These doors can only be unlocked by the highest surviving member of the crew. This usually goes – Day Pilot, Night Pilot, Engineer, Day Co-pilot, Night Co-pilot. | + | Blast Shutters: There are blast shutters is several strategically placed areas – largely in order to save the crew if the main cargo area is pierced.

| - | **Damage Control Stations: There are many damage control stations in the main cargo area as well as one next to the entrance to the main cargo area and shuttle bay. Each of these points contain Environmental Suits, arc-welding torches, torches, magnetic pads etc. For actual repair operations it is common to use the internal graviton beams to manipulate your movement and prevent you from being sucked out of the ship if both hull integrity and the internal shield have failed. | + | Damage Control Stations: There are many damage control stations in the main cargo area as well as one next to the entrance to the main cargo area and shuttle bay.

| - | **Escape Pod: The ship contains a single Escape Pod for the five crew, located next to the bridge. The pod is shaped like a smooth bean, and requires the crew strap themselves to the walls – including the door once it is closed. This is done so the size of the pod can be kept to minimal. It has a four inch thick armoured hull, a Spatial Distortion FTL drive (1000c capable), shielding and Soul Transfer equipment. The ‘Souls’ are kept in a especially armoured area in the center craft – encased in four inch armour – designed to survive the destruction of the pod. The pod is equipped with radio and sub-space radio as well as a homing beacon which is either activated manually or automatically engages after three days. | + | Escape Pod: The ship contains a single Escape Pod for the five crew, located next to the bridge.

| - | **Shield Systems: The Lanethron’s primary defense is its combined defense shielding system, using an oval network of spatial and electrograviational distortions to warp space and alter the trajectory of energy weapons, missiles, projectiles and so forth which are headed towards the ship using both dimensional warping and the wave negating effects of scalar EM interferometry. | + | Shield Systems: The Lanethron’s primary defense is its combined defense shielding system, using an oval network of spatial and electrograviational distortions to warp space and alter the trajectory of energy weapons, missiles, projectiles and so forth which are headed towards the ship using both dimensional warping and the wave negating effects of scalar EM interferometry. |
| The most outwards of these, and the main one, is the elliptical dimensional distortion (EDD) shield, which folds space using electrogravitic fields, wrapping the said space around the ship, encasing it in its own bubble. Once in this bubble objects are sheltered from both solid matter weaponry, less solid matter weaponry (such as plasma or a particle weapon), as well as energy weapons (such as a beam weapon), because they simply pass through the curved space around the ship, in effect the ship is not there to hit. The ships are automatically and constantly modulated by the Lanethron’s Computer, covering almost all frequencies and planes, but more energy is channeled to the bands in which the enemy’s energy weapons operate, making it significantly less likely the shields will overload, and rendering an opponents energy based weapons close to useless. The EED extends in to subspace and hyperspace, and provides the same protection their as in normal space. | The most outwards of these, and the main one, is the elliptical dimensional distortion (EDD) shield, which folds space using electrogravitic fields, wrapping the said space around the ship, encasing it in its own bubble.

| - | **Propulsion: The Lanethron moves its at superluminal speeds through the generation of distortions in space-time using spatial distortion technology, and wrapping them in order to create asymmetric peristaltic fields which drives the ship through space in a similar fashion to that of a Alcubierre Drive. The complexity of the system allows for vast superluminal speeds equivalent to many thousands of times the speed of light. The ship can stop completely or increase to full speed almost instantly due to the lack of kinetic energy in the ship – it simply required deactivating the special peristaltic effect. | + | Propulsion: The Lanethron moves its at superluminal speeds through the generation of distortions in space-time using spatial distortion technology, and wrapping them in order to create asymmetric peristaltic fields which drives the ship through space in a similar fashion to that of a Alcubierre Drive.
