- Individual sections of the ship are divided by bulkhead walls.
- The hull includes internal grav plates and inertial compensators.
Engineering
The vessel mounts a maneuver-5 drive and a power plant 8, giving performance of 5G acceleration. There is fuel tankage of 6.4 dTons, giving the power plant 4 weeks duration.
Main Section
