Devlog #002 – The Starship

Greetings, intrepid explorers, and welcome aboard the Prym’s interstellar starship—a marvel of engineering, the crown jewel of their fleet, and an object of unparalleled fascination across the galaxy. Resembling the dimensions of an American football field, this colossal vessel stands a staggering eight decks tall, positioning it amongst the grandest and most technologically advanced spacecraft ever conceived.

Deck 1, the nerve center of this awe-inspiring behemoth, is situated at the zenith. This primary control hub is the operational heart of the starship, from where the captain and the crew orchestrate their journey through the celestial wilderness, pushing the boundaries of exploration and discovery.

Deck 2 serves as the dedicated space for observation and conference rooms. This is the intellectual hive where scientists, diplomats, and distinguished guests converge to unravel cosmic mysteries and foster a free exchange of ideas. Their gaze, frequently drawn to the panorama of stars, is a constant reminder of the universe’s infinite wonders.

Deck 3 is the vibrant residential quarter for officers and crew, incorporating their mess hall. This area hums with ceaseless activity as crew members diligently prepare for upcoming missions or maintain the ship’s intricate systems.

Deck 4 is designed to provide comfortable accommodations for passengers, scientific teams, and VIPs. It boasts a spacious dining room, an observation deck, and a security station. The ship’s kitchen, known for serving scrumptious meals, adds an element of gastronomic delight to life on board.

Deck 5 is the hub for medical services, security offices, the brig, science labs, food storage, and flight control. Here, the ship’s medical team works relentlessly to safeguard the well-being of everyone aboard while the scientists delve into groundbreaking cosmos explorations.

Deck 6, the utility deck, is the nerve center of the ship’s propulsion systems, housing the fusion reactor, particle accelerator, and collider systems. It also harbors the stardrive capacitors and power batteries, crucial components that enable the ship to hurtle at breathtaking speeds through hyperspace.

Deck 7, the flight deck, is the launchpad for shuttles that venture into the vast expanse of space, exploring the galaxy’s unknown territories. It also serves as the maintenance hub for these shuttles.

Deck 8, the cargo deck, is meticulously organized to store chemicals, minerals, and general cargo. Each item is carefully packed and secured to ensure the mission’s safe and successful execution.

The starship is designed with a future-proof approach, allowing for upgrades and refits that ensure its operational life extends for 50 years or more.
