Ship Class: Pioneer 2107 Colonist Ship

The Pioneer 2107 Colonist Ship model was an Huge (+2) Scale Earth-based design from Venus Shipyards prior to their exclusivity contract with the eventual Allied Terran Systems. 
The ship was popular amongst early colonists to the Rim, Krasian Territory, and even Bound Borders during the early days of human expansion. It was notable for its lower cost, bulky frame, and modular design. The ship was designed to be easily disassembled after arrival to allow most components of the vessel to be reutilized by the burgeoning colony until basic needs could be suitably provided for elsewhere.

Modular Design

The Ship's biggest benefit was its open ended, modular internal design. The ship always had the Bridge in the front and center of the ship to allow visual piloting in case of emergencies. There was always a central hallway running the length of the ship between the Bridge and the massive Cargo Bay/Hanger in the back of the ship. Along that hallway, 4 bunks were provided standard, though they could be reduced from Staterooms to smaller bunks to provide accommodations for up to 10 awake crewmembers.
The remaining quadrants on the left and right of the ship were mostly modular. The front, right quadrant was always utilized for systems, engine controls, generators, and life support. The remaining modules could be used for basic comfort accommodations, such as kitchens, lounges, or common rooms, or they were most commonly used for Stasis Pod modules. These massive rooms were designed to comfortably hold stasis pods, medical equipment, and basic emergency life support for up to 50 adults. The ability to customize between 50-150 made this model incredibly popular for decades.
