Major Ship Systems
System Name Description Primary Departments / Roles
Fusion Reactor The primary power generation unit for the ship, located in Engineering. Requires a complex start-up procedure. Engineering
Alcubierre Drive The Faster-Than-Light (FTL) propulsion system enabling interstellar travel by manipulating spacetime. Represented externally by a large ring structure. Engineering, Command
Sublight Engines The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetic Rocket (VASMIR) propulsion system enabling sublight and FTL travel. Seen externally by the 4 engine pylons at the aft of the ship. Engineering, Command
Sensors Suite of instruments for detecting and analyzing objects and phenomena at Long, Medium, and Short ranges. Includes planetary surface mapping and target identification. Operations, Tactical, Science, Command
Helm Controls the ship's sublight engines, RCS Thrusters, course plotting, autopilot, and engagement of the Alcubierre Drive. Located on the Bridge. Operations, Command
Scene Projection Optical layer for windows used to create 2D & 3D images on a glass surafce. All Departments (Usage)
Life Support Maintains breathable atmosphere, temperature, humidity, and pressure throughout the ship. Treats wastewater and distributes clean water. Engineering
Power Distribution Manages the flow of energy from the reactor and batteries to all other ship systems. Includes breaker panels and monitoring stations. Engineering
Cryogenic Storage Facilities on F Deck and G Deck for storing substances like fuel components (Deuterium, Helium-3) and coolants (Helium) at extremely low temperatures. Engineering
Communications System Handles internal ship communications and external transmissions with other ships, stations, planets, or command authorities like the UNSF. (Planned Feature) Science , Command
Tactical Systems Encompasses ship defenses (shields) and weaponry for combat situations. (Planned Feature) Tactical, Command
Internal Security Systems for monitoring internal ship status, crew locations, controlling door access, bulkheads, and operating the Brig. (Planned Feature) Tactical, Command
Main Crew Lift The primary vertical transport connecting decks B Deck through F Deck. Features call buttons and internal deck selection. All Departments (Usage)
Ship Lighting Controls interior and exterior ship illumination, including standard, emergency, and alert lighting modes (Red Alert, etc.). Can be controlled from the Bridge command chairs and likely Engineering. Engineering, Command
