≛ THE SS ISKAULIT ≛

The Iskaulit was added to the Drift Fleet's ranks during the summer of its first year, after a tragedy befell its original Nunnilis crew, and a related colony thanked the Fleet for attempting to save the crew by granting them possession of the emptied ship.

Whether because there is something wrong with the computers, or Atroma has somehow gotten its hands on it, it will only follow an autopilot sequence following the Marsiva's path.

While originally housing a self-sustaining merchant colony, the ship has since been gutted, allowing all manner of establishments to be built in its plentiful rooms and empty spaces. Any passenger is welcome to set up something for themselves--either publicly or privately--as the Iskaulit has more than enough room to spare.

≛ THE SHIP ≛

The Iskaulit, (meaning a certain rank of lesser female nobility in the Nunnilis' native tongue) is roughly ten times the size of a standard Drift Fleet ship, but still nowhere near the size of the Marsiva. Though it is built of standard metals and synthetic materials, it has a very organic design. Like the Marsiva, it is rather ovoid in appearance, but the surface has a distinctive rippled, grooved look.

Since this is a vessel originally built for on-board trading, the docking ports of the ship all merge into a big communal entry space in the interior. It's meant for the crews of many smaller ships to be able to park and interact together--and it is from this entryway that the massive, central hallways branch out and coil up and down the ship, with rows of rooms and spaces branching off of them.

≛ ROOMS ≛

The central halls of the Iskaulit wrap around in several giant coils in the ship, leaving a slight slope to most of the hall floors. The halls are built both wide and tall, probably meant to mimic the space of a market promenade, and the structure itself is plain and not very well lit. The attention is all meant to be focused on the "shops" that set up in the dozens of alcoves lining the halls.

Some of the alcoves are open-air and welcoming, without a wall of any kind dividing them them from hall. These rooms are probably meant to be shops enticing as many customers to them as possible. Other rooms are walled off with massive windows to display their interiors--while others are much more private, with solid walls and smaller doors leading in and out.

As for windows facing out to the grandeur of space, alcoves with exterior windows only make up about a third of the available rooms. However, even if a room doesn't have exterior windows, panels set in the the outer walls can be temporarily switched to "panorama" mode, which makes them appear transparent.

And if someone is looking for something a little less legitimate, there are air ducts and interior spaces of the ship that were not originally meant to be displayed to the public. You don't get windows, an easy entrance, or much space with these nooks and crannies, but you get much more privacy.

≛ ESTABLISHMENTS ≛

Any passenger (or group of passengers) may set up space for themselves. And don't worry if someone has already started something similar to an establishment that you want to start. There's nothing against having multiple clubs, clothing shops, gyms, etc. The more, the merrier! Just fill out the form below and reply here to the ESTABLISHMENTS comment, and it will be added to the Current Establishments post as soon as we're able.

In the event of an owner character leaving, possession of the establishment will pass to the other owners listed. If all listed owners drop, the establishment either passes on to a listed "inheritor," or goes up for grabs to the rest of the Fleet if no one is listed.

To edit or add to current information, including taking over an ownerless establishment, reply to the ESTABLISHMENTS comment with whatever it is that you want changed. If you want to alter displayed text, please include the entire block of writing along with the changes, so we can just copy and paste the whole thing over.

Names of IC owner(s): Chloe Price
Inheritor(s): Kitty Pryde, unless she's gone, in which case it's up for grabs.
Name of establishment (or whatever you want listed in the directory): Pot Farm.
Is this establishment open to the public: Nope.
Type of establishment: It's a little 'garden.'
Description and information (200 word max.):

With the help of a few other people (Alex Russo way back when), Chloe duplicated some of the equipment from the vegetable greenhouse. And using it with seeds from the street-pot she had on her when she arrived, Chloe has very slowly cultivated a little crop of marijuana plants. There are curtained off sections for dark and light growing and she's cribbed ideas from the other, public gardens to make it more functional.

These are set up in one of the smaller, 'just walls and doors' rooms, and she has figured out how to lock the door when she's not there. Only a couple people know about it, and even fewer are allowed inside.

Name of establishment (or whatever you want listed in the directory): Dance Studio
Is this establishment open to the public: Yes
Type of establishment: Dance studio
Description and information (200 word max.): A room with a dance floor, two mirrored walls and bars along the wall. There is space in the back to set up chairs for small recitals. It's set up with a sound system to play music for dance classes. There's also a changing room with cloth dividers, benches, and lockers.

Names of IC owner(s): Beverly Crusher
Inheritor(s): Jennifer Keller
Name of establishment (or whatever you want listed in the directory): Surgical Center
Is this establishment open to the public: No
Type of establishment: Medical
Description and information (200 word max.): The surgical center was built by The Vision, Wrath, and Beverly almost exclusively for the removal of Wrath's spinal cybernetic implants, so the equipment is somewhat limited to that specific purpose. For the most part, it remains unused other than as storage, but if there is an emergency (eg if the fleet gets attacked) Beverly will open it up as extra space for medical care. Security is extremely tight and at the moment, only she, Dr. Keller, and Dr. McCoy have access to it. However, if someone has a specific plot idea in mind for it, don't hesitate to hit me up and I'm sure we can work something out!

Type of establishment: It's an actual working forge.
Description and information (200 word max.):
Down below the main decks and as close to the plumbing as possible, Sokka's helped them rig it so that a fire will be quickly extinguished before it can spread too far. One of the elves is likely to be there often but not always. Anyone is free to wander in and try to make stuff themselves, the only caveat being that any materials you need you are to provide. Or, you can ping the elves and ask for a comission.

Is this establishment open to the public: Yes
Type of establishment: Mountain/natural area
Description and information (200 word max.): A miniature mountainside created by Edna and her "brothers" to give a bit of nature back to those trapped by the Atroma. The mountain isn't as tall as the one where the Earth Seraph were born, but it's created by seraphic artes to stand the test of time. The stream gives a serene water feature to break up the very strong "Earth" feel to the entire area. A patch of ground between the mountain and water is obviously being used as a garden, and under the few trees showcased, a table with a few chairs crafted out of rocks is set up for relaxation.

[tsunergy]

Hey mods! Got some fixes that I noticed while going through this for unrelated reasons.

1) Counselling Office
-Current owner: Kaname Buccaneer
-Original Owner: Billy Kaplan

2) Interfaith Center
-new link for the info page, as Stefan's post has been deleted - https://faesphere.dreamwidth.org/26171.html

3) Study Room
-i don't think we have an Xavier anymore? so current owner would be None afaik.

4) Art Therapy Studio
-not sure if anyone else is involved with this, but Uraraka Ochako has taken over its general upkeep.

5) Movie Theater
-Kirito is no longer a Current Owner, so it would just be Katie now.

6) Aquarium (Mikleo's)
-this was more my error and I honestly don't think anyone else cares, but this location should be in Private Area c:

7) The Greenhouse
-Hermoine dropped!

THATS IT

[spaceshipit]

Thank you very much for this! I'll make the changes ASAP.

PS, You totally beat me to the punch - I plan to make an announcement soon-ish to ask people to claim unclaimed spaces and help correct errors, now that I'm back in action. This definitely helps!

I just realised this never got updated, but deals with Makie's search and planting of a memory tree from last year--

[spaceshipit]

Hi there!

Just checking - do you want this to be listed under parks/gardens, or community areas?

[mikangirl]

Parks/gardens I think!

[spaceshipit]

Got it - thank you!
