Summary

mainshuttlebay.jpg


The shuttlebay is a large hangar where shuttlecraft are launched, received, stored, and maintained. The external space doors are usually kept closed, but are opened and replaced with a force field when a shuttlecraft is about to land or to be launched. This force field can be penetrated by the shuttlecraft itself while also preventing decompression of the shuttlebay. The shuttlebay is equipped with a tractor beam emitter in order to help facilitate landing and departure procedures.
