Length: 57 meters (187 feet) Span:8 meters (26.2 feet) Height: 8 meters (26.2 feet)

The Type M as constructed by MC&S Engineering is an efficient rectangular hull form. Lack of atmospheric streamlining permits the ship to be optimized,for ease of maintenance, low construction cost, and increased internal capacity. This type has proved very popular on regular runs between established planets.

The lowest or Third Deck has 13 staterooms arranged on either side of a central corridor. The forward end of the corridor has the Access Ladder up to the Second Deck. The aft end opens into a small Common Room with two Fresher Cubicles. The middle or Second Deck also is devoted to passenger staterooms, 12 staterooms being arranged on either side of the central corridor. The forward end of the corridor has the ladder down to the lower deck. The aft end of the corridor opens into a large lounge. Two Fresher Cubicles are located here. Also the Access Ladder and hatch to the Crew Deck is located at the aft end of the corridor. The upper or First Deck is devoted to crew and command functions. The Control Room is located at the very bow of the ship. T h e Computer and Avionics are located at the aft end of the Control Room. An axial corridor leads back from the Control Room with the staterooms for the Pilot and Navigator immediately to either side. Next comes the Crew's Lounge,including food preparation facilities. The corridor continues aft between the three staterooms for the Engineers, the fresher cubicle, and the Airlock. Immediately opposite the Airlock hatch is the Access Ladder and the computer monitored deck hatch to the lower decks. The central corridor continues on aft between the Low Passage 3erths to the hatch in the rear bulkhead. This 20 hatch leads into the access tunnel through the Cargo Hold and Fuel Tanks to the Engineering Section.
