[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6921252, member: 50895"] I decided to participate in this month's Halloween Special Map Challenge at the Cartographers' Guild with the theme - create a map that has something to do with vampires. Since I've been designing star ship deck plans lately for multiple projects, I decided to do a vampire themed deck plan. At first I'd considered doing either a space station or deck plan that a gang of vampires has taken over, however I went a different route. Several people have asked me to create a bio-hybrid living ship deck plan, which I planned to do eventually, then thought what if I do one now. For an added twist since this is a bio-hybrid star ship deck plan, and it is alive, why I don't I have this ship contract vampirism... There are tiny (inch long) beetle-like grubs that thrive in the so-called vacuum of space, apparently moved along by solar winds they can survive with little to no atmosphere, very limited food sources, in the harshest environments and attach themselves to passing space ships and other astral bodies. One of their unique features is it can naturally cloak itself - essentially becoming invisible to most scanning devices, through a field generated by a pair of internal organs. The creature is called a space flea or spectre beetle. FiveCorp took on a top secret genetic engineering project by capturing specimins of Spectre Beetles, using radiations, growth hormones, hormone therapy and some radical surgery and grafting, have transformed the inch long insectoid into a star ship sized bio-hybrid star ship. It's internal organs, bladders containing exotic gases and through its gastro-intestinal system can travel and maneuver through open space (equivalent to Maneuver 2 speeds). However, it is not capable of FTL flight, without the addition of grafted technology that is placed in the aft portion of the living ship with those branch protrusions acting as fuel bladders. The ship is 3 levels high: at top is the bridge and gunnery deck, at center is the habitat deck, which notably features the creature's reproductive system converted into life pods that provide crew stasis pods as well as healing capability to the sick or injured, and bottom is the cargo and engineering deck. Apparently one of these Spectre Beetle class Armed Scout star ship's encountered a catastrophic situation that forced the crewmen to evacuate the ship, which happened to have foundered in a nebula of necrotic gases. An alien race of vampire-like beings took over the ship and through regular uses of the stasis/healing system has infected the ship with a state of vampirism. Now the infected ship's stasis pods function differently. Those interred are either transformed into dhampyr (living vampire thrall crewmen capable of social interactions and intellect as normal, but entirely devoted to the ship) or consumes it's victims draining life energy, blood, bodily fluids, before internal acids further break down tissue and bone and entirely consumed to feed the ship. Below are external hull views - top, portside view, and front view; upper bridge/gunnery deck; center habitat deck; lower cargo/engineering deck. Enjoy!
