Refer to: SS Corona. Since this will be the core of the conversion module, I need to hammer out all the fine details so the rest can fall in place. Naturally Deck Plans will be in order...

The sea going vessel from the module is roughly 168 meters in length, 21 meters in width, and massing 19K tons. This puts it in the neighborhood of Hull Size:5 via KH rules & dimensions.

Personally I feel this is far too small of a ship for the game, more so considering the number of planned encounters and amenities listed in the module. My gut feeling is to have it around HS:12, although a deck plan would be ludicrous at that scale so I'm thinking something in the neighborhood at the minimum HS:9 due to the passenger accomodations, possibly even go so far as a long/skinny HS:10 in order to accomodate an extra lifeboat.

I see no reason for Atomic drives, Ion propulsion is more than enough for a liner.

Amenities from the module:

> 2 Swimming Pools (main and childrens' pool)
> Promenade - possibly a "space walk" encircling several decks where passeners can walk around the outer hull with floor to ceiling plexiglass views of outer space
> 2 bars (Costa Del Sol & Galleria)
> 3 Lounges (Alcazar, San Pablo, & Cadir)
> Night Club
> 2 Cinemas (or more appropriately, HoloCinemas)
> Snack Bar and Main Dining Hall (along with two smaller private dining halls)
> Banquet Hall
> Day Care Center, Boutique, Beauty Salon, Barber Shop, Health Spa & Gym, Gift Shop, Casino, Showroom, Library, Chapel, (Holo-)Arcade, and Clinic w/waiting room, 2 exam rooms, & 2 operating rooms

Misc Areas: Galley (dividing main dining room and crew mess hall), Brig, Purser's Office, Captain's Office (possibly adjacent to Captain's Suite), Cruise Director's Office, Laundry Room, File Room, Crew Lounge, and numerous janitor closets & storage areas.

Other Noteable Areas: Bridge with adjacent Communications Room (fore), Engineering Deck & Engine Room (aft)



Obviously numerous areas can be retailored for the Core Four rather than the TS human-centric population, such as steam baths in the heath spa for Dralasites and such.

A quick mock-up of the outer hull, I went with a cruise ship profile for the basic shape.

A trio of geometric arranged Ion drives will be added to the stern next.

No automatic alt text available.

It will be true to KH perpendicular to main axis deck plans. I'll be adding a lot more to the base exterior, suffice it to say once the drives are added it will start to drift away from the ocean going look.

Excellent! This may be a very good place to start converting from TS to StFr.
