A Irregular Structure Hull is a kind of ship structure, fuselage, chassis, or hull.

It is most popularly known as a Cluster Hull.
It is a kind of Ship Equipment.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

A Cluster Hull is an accumulation of various ship components and connectors. It is an unstreamlined hull that is often considered to the least expensive of all hull options. It is unsuited for high acceleration and not intended for most world landings. It must use shuttles or other kinds of interface craft to interface with the surface installations of planets with atmospheres. Highports or other kinds of space stations are often highly desirable trade destinations.

A common hull type.

CBPUSAL Function Designation Streamlining Spectrum[edit]

The Imperial Ship Builders Association (ISBA) qualifies modern naval hulls across this spectrum:

C. Cluster. An accumulation of compartments.
B. Braced Cluster. Structured for higher acceleration.
P. Planetoid. A hollowed nickel-iron asteroid.
U. Unstreamlined. Protrusions increase drag.
S. Streamlined. Cowlings and fairings decrease drag.
A. Airframe. Winged for performance in atmosphere.
L. Lifting Body. Radically streamlined lifting-surfaces.
