Kobkson

Road Runner Class (Mostly) d8
These blockade runners were manufactured by Weyland-Yutani during the Unification War and were used primarily to break through Alliance blockades surrounding beseiged worlds. After the war, they were confiscated by the Alliance and decommissioned. Now, mechanics and salvagers can find these vessels in spaceship junkyards throughout the 'Verse. While the Kobkson was built on a Road Runner's frame, parts from other vessels, including a first generation Firefly, a Hades class prison transport, and even a Justice class gunship.

Interior Descriptions

Cockpit

The cockpit of the Kobkson has seats for a pilot and co-pilot, though only one is really necessary to fly the ship. The large windows allow for an excellent field of view. Most of the equipment is functional but battered and more than a few years out of date.

Lounge

A multipurpose area which can be used for crew conferences or relaxation. It includes a small fridge, a pro level dart board, a weight bench, and a large, mostly functional cortex screen.

Central Corridor

The heart of the ship is traversed by a single hallway running bow to stern, with branching corridors running port to starboard. The well-worn grating in the floor allows access to various pipes and conduits and even more are exposed in the ceiling. Lighting is provided by overhead LEDs which occasionally flicker and buzz. Near the front end of this section are a pair of large storage lockers. Nearby hatches lead to the escape pods. In theory, each of these pods can accommodate four people for four days and survive a single planetfall but they haven't been tested. The middle part of this section holds the stairs and a small cargo lift which travel down to the Companion's Lounge and up to the galley. The rearmost corridor allows access to the head, shower, another storage area for cleaning supplies, and the cargo bay.

Head and Shower

The facilities are well worn and built following a military/industrial standard. They aren't pretty but they do work.

Laboratory/Workshop

Most of this room is taken up by Carina's chemistry laboratory. A small selection of machining tools are also present, used for creating parts for both the Kobkson and the Michi's custom hoverbike, the Mahha-Go.

Medical Bay

A single examination chair occupies the center of this room while the perimeter is crammed with old medical equipment and scratched up supply cabinets. Far from state-of-the-art, the room's only real advantage to a medical professional is how clean it is kept. The exam chair lays flat for surgical use but patients are usually moved to their own bunk for post-op recovery.

Crew Quarters

The crew quarters have been outfitted for living but are anything but fancy. The low ceiling has exposed pipes and ductwork, the floors are the same cold metal panels as the cargo hold, and the noise and vibration from the engine pods can get pretty intense at full burn. There are doors joining the forward rooms to the aft rooms, but these are generally kept locked, with the area between used more as common closet space rather than a passagway.

Companion's Lounge/Laboratory

Leave this space for the Companion to fill.

Galley

Situated atop the central section of the ship, the tall windows in this room provide a good view forward and to either side. A large stainless steel table occupies the forward part of the dining area while a small kitchenette fills the back section. Various lockers and cabinets hold food and cooking gear. The aft wall holds a walk-in refrigeration unit, a freezer, and pressure doors leading to the stairs and lift.

Cargo Bay

Access to the cargo bay is through a large ramp/door in the back of the ship. A large balcony is reachable from a ladder near the forward end of the room. Overhead is a crane and gantry system - used to move cargo to and from the balcony storage area. The controls for the crane and gantry are located on the edge of the balcony. Michi's custom hoverbike, the Mahha-Go is kept in one corner of the lower level.

Engine Room

Accessible only by climbing a ladder from the cargo bay balcony, this cramped room has direct access to the power core and other vital systems via ducts but is usually hot and noisy.
