The Endurance

Unlike most ships, the Endurance was built for luxury but modified for utilitarianism. It's design is for that of science and not opulence. It's modifications were done for one purpose and one purpose only: surveying deep space and living to tell the tale. It flies under the flag of the Starlight Research Consortium, a scientific group of Zoners stationed out of the Tau systems but has been seen from Pennsylvania all the way out into the very distant edge worlds and beyond. It's purpose is to survey for hyperspatial coordinates and explore the deepest reaches of Sirius where not even the bravest dare.

The Bridge

Much like her sister ship the Aurora, her bridge was moved deeper inside the ship due to the extreme dangers that incurred from existing in deep space for long periods of times. Those dangers aren't limited to enemies either but stellar phenomena, anomalies, singularities, extreme solar wind, and other dangers. The original bridge still exists onboard but is used as a secondary bridge in case the primary ever is damaged or destroyed due to unforeseen events.

The Hyperspace Scanning Lab

Hyperspace is littered with antimatter. A spacecraft coming into contact with these patches of antimatter can cause complete annihilation of the vehicle. As such, it is necessary to map out the various concentrations of antimatter in hyperspace from the safety of regular space. To map hyperspace, a pair of hyperspace survey tunnelers are needed at minimum: A sender, and receiver. The sender launches particles into a short journey through hyperspace. The paired receiver then records which ones made it through. Any particles that did not make it through are presumed to have been annihilated after coming into contact with antimatter. The data can be used to build a map of hyperspace. Much like her sister ship, the Hyperspace Scanning Lab is a state of the art facility.

The Recreation Hall

While the size of the recreation room may not be as grandiose as the Aurora, it's a requirement for long distance survey missions for her crew. The area is simply used for those crewmembers who might want a drink after a long day of work, for those crew members with a day off, or for meal breaks during shifts. Often used for large department meetings due to the space afforded by the size of the room.

Accommodations

The sleeping quarters are a tad larger than other science vessels in the SLRC fleet due to the size and original purpose of the liner. While the rooms are larger, more comfortable, and with more privacy than a standard vessel of it's type, the experience is still very spartan for type of experience the ship was originally intended for. The rooms each have a work space available with a custom keyed terminal for their personal and professional use with a direct link to the Scanning Lab for any late night work or bursts of inspiration. Each room comes with a small corner bathroom and kitchen combo.
