GOTTERDAMMERUNG Mobile Base

[Lazarus MonkeyMan]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce the Gotterdammerung Mobile Base (GMB)! Equipped with ISRU, greenhouse, science lab, and deployable short-range science rover, this juggernaut has everything you could need to explore those far away places in style and comfort.

With individual cabins for the CO, XO, Chief Engineer, and Operations Officer forward, junior officer's country in the aft superstructure, and port/starboard enlisted berthings for 18 crew with their own office each, this behemoth is never short-staffed; and comfortable watch rotations ensure plenty of rest and relaxation.

The aft superstructure's lower level contains the ship's daily operations and communications center. Just forward of that is the special operations center for coordinating science rover expeditions. Forward of that is the base's next-generation science lab for processing that juicy data. Above the senior officer's quarters is the greenhouse for both research and feeding the crew. Forward of the greenhouse is the bridge where the navigator and helmsman wrestle the beast over strange exotic biomes. Just underneath the bridge is the engineering control center for mining and ISRU operations, as well as the extendable grabber arm to facilitate refueling of other craft.

The deployable science rover is snugly tucked away in the aft payload bay next to the RTG banks. When deployed, the craft is rotated 90 degrees to make driving away from, and back into, much easier. It is equipped with the full range of non-atmosphere ground science (five star deployment crew strongly suggested) but can easily be refitted for atmospheric science. Its large science arm is perfect for those hard to reach places. After deployment of the seismic ground experiment, the main craft has two small impactor rockets to make booms for the seismometer.

Happy exploring!

AWESOME!
