The Nightfall
The Nightfall is an SM+13 ship (300,000 tons) with 21 decks. Its 860 feet long (280 yards), and 210 feet across. Most of it filled with 60 foot by 30 foot compartments pressurized with breathable air. Its cargo space is mainly devoted to the metastable hydrogen bricks it uses as fuel for its plasma torch engine and stardrive. It has three main lasers housed in fish-eyes 90 feet across, and carries over 200 missiles 60 feet long each. The weapons systems are in the front, followed by the stardrive, with the plasma torch behind that and the fusion reactors in the rear of the ship.
