Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dr Simon" data-source="post: 4941333" data-attributes="member: 21938">As you have already seen from Cheshana's schematics, the Markab vessel is a dart-shaped vessel with a three-fold radial symmetry.The central portion is roughly cylindrical, a zero-gravity section with the bridge at one end and engineering at the other. A shuttle bay is located underneath the bridge at the nose (too small for the Fortune to dock), and there is a maintainance/emergency airlock at the rear, between the forward thrust engines.Rotating around this section are three equally-spaced identical passenger sections, wide near the stern tapering to stubby point at the bow (where each section has a viewing and relaxation lounge). These are the main areas of the ship, mostly passenger berths but also crew quarters, galley and (being Markab), prayer rooms.Each of these sections has an access hatch on the outside, for space-borne docking.Sarhat carefully guides the Fortune towards one of these, until your ship is resting belly-down on the side of one of these sections, and a docking collar can be extended to the Lashaiaj. In doing so, Sarhat bumps the Markab vessel into a slightly lower orbit of the gas giant, although Kirth calculates that it is still stable for another 30-40 years.OOC: Hopefully you get the idea of the ship. It's meant to look like the one in Confessions and Lamentations, couldn't find a good image of it:<img src="http://www.starshipmodeler.com/b5/skull.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />BTW,  Sarhat and Ashley need to be updated to 2nd level.</blockquote>
