Stateroom

A Stateroom is an area aboard a vessel set aside for crew and passengers.

• It is a kind of Ship Equipment.

Description (Specifications)

A Stateroom is a measure of the internal space given over to use by passengers and crew. Most typically it takes the form of a small cabin that includes partition walls, doors, storage space, and furniture. It may include necessary access such as a corridor. It is supplied with basic life support needs (a breathable atmosphere) and has environmental systems (lighting and heating). On ships of TL-8 or more, staterooms usually include grav plates and inertial compensators. Most staterooms include a compact entertainment system..

• A stateroom usually has a control panel enabling lighting and temperature to be set to preferred levels. More sophisticated designs may allow the gravity, humidity or air pressure to be adjusted.
• Most staterooms can be locked by their occupants. The captain, other senior officers and any stewards assigned to the stateroom have access to master keys.
• Staterooms may contain Emergency Lockers.

History & Background (Dossier)

Staterooms are typically designed to hold one or more individual sophonts of approximately the same size and needs as humans. Larger races such as Virushi require correspondingly larger Staterooms. Races such as the K'kree may entirely dispense with formally laid out Staterooms (and indeed any form of internal partitioning), instead creating a large open-plan living space.

Staterooms may be modified as required. Bulkhead walls – an intrinsic element of the hull – may not be moved but internal partitions, doorways, and fixtures and fittings can be rearranged as desired.

Staterooms are usually designed to function with thin, standard, and dense atmospheric environmental settings. Very Thin or exotic atmospheres or other specialized environments usually require an Environmental Tank with an associated Airlock.

Vessels of the Terran Confederation were known for particularly bleak and spartan crew accommodations, with almost all crew "hotbunking". Vilani vessels of the same era had comparatively sumptuous crew quarters, leading many Terran naval personnel to believe that the Vilani were somehow "soft" or "weak" because of their generous and comfortable living arrangements.
