Internal bays and decks

Captain's bridge, crew cabins, weapons deck, hangar for fighters, technical compartment, generators, arsenal

Captain's bridge
This deck is the vital center of the whole ship. It is here that orders are given to the crew members, the captain of the ship and the acting officer are located. Here, numerous groups of engineers monitor the state of the ship, and navigators and gunners focus and navigate weapons and navigation systems. Of course, this place is heavily armored and it will take a lot of effort to open this tin can. But if you managed to disable this deck, then the ship, most likely, will already be put out of action.

Crew cabins
A place where crew members rest from exhausting work, keep themselves in shape after long flights, and spend most of their time. Cabins are made in a simple modern style, equipped with a bathroom and electricity, there is climate control as well. Many are convinced that these cabins are too luxurious for ordinary soldiers, but the captain of the ship assures that the satisfied soldier is an effective soldier. However, while these facilities are financed from personal accounts, no one complains.

Weapons deck
Recharging mechanisms, numerous weapons systems, artillerymen, all this was installed here in order to ensure the ship's combat status. Control of damage, energy, shield level, gun point all these processes are produced here. This deck is also well fortified, but without it the ship still has a chance to retreat and be rescued, so it is rarely chosen as a priority goal, unless there is a need to take the crew alive.

Hangar for fighters
Like any other ship of this class, the cruiser has the ability to carry a few fighters. Although, during the battle, this hangar is usually empty, in peacetime it is full of ships, since Maine is the operational base of the Epsilon wing. Usually, pilots gather here to discuss the plan of action, to give the most valuable and interesting finds, and also to replenish stocks in conditions, the supply is difficult.

Technical bay
The heart of the ship, this compartment is even more important than the captain's bridge. It is here that all the generators, numerous liquid systems, cooling systems and energy regulation are located. Here the engineering team spends its time in the mainland, carefully following the indicators of the devices. This is the most armored bay.
