Ruonor Gulvisa (Fighter bay)
The Ruonor Gulvisa is one of the standard Tinsae Fiqorsa (Starship Compartments) used by ships of the Poku Saeruo Degonjo. It is designed for the launch and recovery of Gulvisa fighter craft. A standard bay is capable of supporting four Gulvisa ships. In an emergency, it can be quickly reconfigured to store one or more other Starships of the Clan.
Description
The bay is two decks high, is quite wide, and is surrounded by walls are constructed of reinforced Mâqirây (Bound Metal). Hull braces composed of Mâqirây (Bound Metal) protrude from the side walls. The walls support several Tyo'te Wuny'ta (Fire Suppression) ports, and standard Ibâ'te (Lighting) in the ceiling and on the walls keep the space well-lit.
The bottom floor of the bay has equipment storage modules, as well as the equipment necessary to refuel the Gulvisa. The bottom floor also has workstations and standard chairs.
Two large clamshell doors open outward to allow the Gulvisa to enter and exit the bay. Personnel access the bay through security doors.
The bay supports several ladders that allow movement between the two levels, and various lifts are available for moving heavier tools and parts to the different levels of the bay. Ramps can also be deployed and dropped between levels for rolling equipment up and down between levels.
Each Gulvisa is secured by two cradles that hold them during maintenance and repair. During space launches, the bay shifts to zero gravity, and the arms release and swing to the side of the bay.
There are catwalks on either side of the craft which are used by Fighter Pilots to reach their ships. Technical support occupations like the Bajao'ka Tinsae (Starship Engineer) also use these catwalks to service the craft. These catwalks can be moved out of the way when the ships are launched, and brought back out after the ships dock.
