UNCSS ÌYÁNLÁ

The UNCSS Ìyánlá is a Lockmart and Welsun Type 3300B Deucalion-class X modular colony carrier, coming in at 2,550m in length, with a beam of 450m and draft of 300m. This state-of-the-art long-range spacecraft carries four externally mounted Atmospheric Processor Plant modules, four ring-mounted Magellan-­class J Space Exploration Vehicles, as well as numerous drop-shuttles, support craft, and ground vehicles. Three “spines” run the length of the vessel, with transit systems for crew and equipment.  
COMMAND MODULE
Houses all flight controls, including the bridge and communications, all command and mission administration functions and briefing rooms. The senior officers and flight crew live here.  
TRANSIT MODULE
Contains air locks, hangar bays, ready rooms, and tactical ops centers. Revived colonists are housed here before transit off-ship. There are six docking arms, and the mission’s four SEVs dock to this module.  
CRYOSLEEP MODULES A-D
Each module contains 2,500 colonists in cryosleep, with rehabilitation and re-orientation facilities.  
ENGINEERING AND ATMOSPHERE PROCESSORS
The engineering section manages the maintenance of the ship and its systems and includes a manufactory module for building vehicles and equipment. It also houses the magazine for Ìyánlá’s supply of terraforming tactical nukes, and hangars for supply and repair vessels. All colony equipment is shipped in bulk from here. This module also contains extensive quarantine facilities. There are four externally mounted Atmosphere Processor units attached to this module—fully automated, they can be deployed to any area of clear ground (1000m square) and will automatically begin set-up and operations.  
CRYOPRESERVATION AND STORE MODULES 1–4
Contains all the stores and equipment to support colonization operations, including all cryopreserved human embryos and livestock.  
DRIVE MODULE
Contains engines, reactors, fuel stores, the solar sail arrays, and recharge facilities, as well as all the machinery and equipment required to make the ship fly.
