Yugumo Standard Dining Hall is a starship interior developed by the Yugumo Corporation in YE 45.

In YE 45, the Yugumo Corporation's Yugumo Fleetworks division sought to continue the standardization of its interior modules for the ships it produced. The design for the Yugumo Standard Dining Hall was done in conjunction with the design of the Yugumo Standard Galley to ensure they worked together with synergy and efficiency.

The product information for the Yugumo Standard Dining Hall.

The Crew Dining Hall is a clean and sleek space designed to cater to the needs of a diverse group of crewmembers and guests. Its primary purpose is to provide a communal area for the crew to relax, socialize, and refuel between their demanding duties. The size and scope of this compartment are dependent on the ship's size and class. It is generally located close to the Yugumo Standard Galley.

The dining hall is an embodiment of advanced technology and aesthetics. It features smooth, curved lines, and a predominantly metallic or composite material construction. The walls are adorned with Volumetric Windows that can change the scenery or provide vital mission data. It is designed to maximize space utilization in a spacecraft or space station. The furniture, fixtures, and equipment are carefully arranged to accommodate a crew of various species and sizes.

When possible on one side of the dining hall, there are enormous, floor-to-ceiling viewports that offer breathtaking panoramic views of space. Passengers and crew can dine while observing celestial phenomena such as nebulas, planets, and distant stars. Some ship classes just use the Volumetric Windows.

The seating arrangements are modular, allowing crew members to customize their dining experience. Crew members can choose between traditional dining tables and chairs or opt for more relaxed lounge seating with soft, adaptable cushions. Tables are equipped with built-in access to KAIMON which includes touchscreens for meal ordering, entertainment, and communication. They can be adjusted in height and size to accommodate various dining preferences.

The dining hall's lighting system is adjustable to mimic natural day-night cycles. This helps crew members maintain their circadian rhythms during extended space journeys.

Subtle ambient sounds of gentle space winds, distant starship hums, or soothing music enhance the atmosphere, making it a pleasant and relaxing place to unwind.

The food is generally served by crew members, KAIMON/Ascendant Consort or on buffet tables that are supplied by the Yugumo Standard Galley. The menu caters to various dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and omnivorous options. Meals are presented in reusable, eco-friendly containers designed to minimize waste.

Volumetric community boards display news, announcements, and personal messages, fostering a sense of camaraderie among the crew.
