====== Expeditionary Cruiser Os-C-04 Stellar Road Class ======
===== 1. About the Stellar Road =====
This ship was designed by Carthage Project scientists and engineers as the command cruiser for the Viridian expeditionary fleet. The Stellar Road is similar in function to a battle cruiser. The ship can also carry modules containing cargo, fighter bays, or various other things. The ship boasts slightly better laboratory sections then that of most Nepleslian ships.
The ship also has a large main gun to clear space debris and to defend it and its fleet from enemy warships. The ship has adequate defenses for a deep space exploration vessel and can carry its own extensive range of modules, thus reducing the need for and strain on transport ships. These external modules also allow the ship to refresh its supplies by simply swapping them out for full ones from a transport as well.
===== 2. History and Background =====
This grand ship had been on the design board much longer then its little brother the Perry Class, and upon final approval of the Perry the command ship's designers were able to finalize a good part of the design. As such, the dock workers and engineers were able to avoid many of the problems they had with the Perry's construction and began construction, launching the ship just a few months after the first batch of Perry class ships had been completed.

===== 5. Inside the Ship =====
==== Deck Layout ====
The ships decks are arranged one on top of another, stacked and are connected by lifts and maintenance corridors with ladders.
==== Compartment Layouts ====
=== Armory ===
There are 26 armories on the ship, located every other deck, fore and aft.
These armories are fully stocked with the latest Nepleslian weapons as of YE 32. Each armory requires a ranking Sergeant or higher to access it.
=== Bridge ===
The Stellar Road has a more modern bridge layout compared to most Nepleslian ships, with the captain situated at the center of the bridge with the helmsmen and tactical officer to the fore of him, and the science and engineering stations at the aft. The Stellar Road's interface systems are comprised of touch-screen interfaces and tactile response key interfaces. The front of the bridges hull is comprised of a large view screen capable of projecting three dimensional images several feet in front of it along with a surround sound stereo system built into the surrounding bridge walls.
=== Captain's Suite ===
Officers Quarters: These rooms are slightly larger, with the captains being the largest, and are fully furnished with the latest in sleek plastic furniture. This furniture is also capable of folding flush into the room's walls by the simple push of a button. All knick knacks, trophies, and adult items are neatly stored in retractable shelving.
=== Cargo Storage Areas ===
The ship has four large cargo holds located in the forward hull. Each hold is spacious and able to hold a sufficient amount of cargo and supplies for 2 years.
=== Crew Quarters ===
Each crewman has their own quarters for the normally long missions away from port. These are normally sparse, consisting of typical bed and shiny new plastic executive desk with a computer console on top, except for commanding officers whose quarters also have an array of shelving which often displays awards, commendations, and ship models.
The quarters for marines and ground troops are comprised of stacked bunks (Made of metal with polyester mattresses) and personal trunks (Made from pressed wood composite)
=== Crew Recreation ===
Commanding officers have their own washroom while there is one restroom for every 5 crew members.
The ship has ten mess halls, seven fore three aft, each capable of holding 600 people.
Recreation: The ship has a recreation center with a spa, showers, basketball court, various combat simulators, video games, and a weight room. There is also a lounge that can hold 100 crew members and a stage.
=== Engineering ===
Running decks 30 high at the aft of the ship, the Stellar Road class has one of the most efficient and powerful reactor systems to date. A minimal engineering crew of 30 can operate the ship under normal conditions. All 30 decks can be reached via ladder in the event of mass power loss.
=== Maintenance Conduits ===
The ship has an adequate number of maintenance corridors, which can be sealed either manually from inside the shafts or from various control stations on the ship. These corridors are made of some of the most resilient alloys that make up the ship, and are not very comfortable to climb thru due to their hard inner surface and use of ladders for vertical ascension at evenly spaced junctions.
=== Medical Center and Laboratory ===
*Section 1: The Stellar Road has one of the largest scientific laboratories of any ship in the expeditionary fleet, with the ability to accommodate over four hundred science personnel. There are eight decks in the forward section of the ship equipped with mission variable laboratory spaces, stellar cartography, and the ship's twelve main medical bays. The ship's medical bay serves the needs of the crew with a spacious infirmary, examination alcoves, and operating rooms.
*Section 2: This section, located between the rear of the forward hull and the cargo spine, contains 8 medbays, with 4 designed for battle casualties demanding immediate surgery.
This section also contains most of the holding cells on the ship.
*Section 3: The third section of laboratories is located towards the rear of the ship between the cargo spine and engineering section. These include Biology/Xenobiology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and other labs as well as two storage facilities for containment of specimens large and small and of various risk levels. The labs are among the most advanced in all of the Nepleslian territories.
=== Passageways ===
Corridors are well lit, and the overall lighting changes to red when the ship is in combat. The floors are composed of a light colored composite while the floor is composed of plates made up of open hexagonal forms to improve traction
=== Power Armor Bays ===
The ships two fighter bays and large aft shuttlebay can also serve as Power Armor launch bays.
=== Shuttle Bays ===
The ship's exterior is equipped with one large shuttlebay located aft/dorsal which is a force field-contained opening in the hull. The bay makes it possible for shuttles to fly out into space at their convenience. This bay is normally sealed via a large sliding segmented door.
The fighter bays are similar in construction, with two large bays located on the fore hull, one to port and one to starboard. The launch bays are staffed by an elite flight deck crew due to the amount of time the ship would spend away from port.
=== Wardroom ===
Located on deck 3, the wardroom is where the captain and commanding officers eat. There is a large wooden table that fills the center of the long, rectangular room, with comfortable chairs around it.
===== 6. Ship Systems =====
==== Armored Hull and Hull Integrated Systems ====
*Hull: Composed of thick panels of Neutronium-coated steel around a carbon nanotube frame and Mercurite anti-radiation shielding, the Stellar Road's hull provides fairly good protection.
*Airlock System: The primary airlocks are located at the fore of the vessel, both dorsal and ventral. An airlock is a device which permits the passage of objects, people, and the like, between a pressure vessel and its surrounding space while minimizing the change of pressure—and loss of air—in the vessel. The lock consists of two airtight doors in series which do not open simultaneously.
*Module system: The Stellar Road can carry 12 Modular cargo units. The module system is the measurement of standard cargo capacity. Each "Cargo Moduleâ€
