P Class Freighter

=P-Class Freighter=
----
The P-class freighter is a type of starship utilized by the Earth Cargo Service. In service during the 24th and 25th centuries. They are operated by private captains under license from either the Merchant Marine Service or the Earth Cargo Authority. Often marked with an additional civilian organization flag and transponder code.
== Background information ==
The P-class is a civilian design similar to the Starfleet Lotus Flower Neutronic Fuel Carrier of the late 23rd century. Designers working out of Luna produce the updated freighters designed to carry everything from liquid fuel to pulverized ores. A new design has been produced on average every 10 years to be released to the Copernicus Ship Yards for private contracted construction.

===SPECIFICATIONS===
====Cargo Capabilities:====
Gross Weight: 150,000 Metric Tonnes Unloaded / 300,000 Metric Tonnes Fully Loaded
====Physical Arrangement:====
At a length of 240 meters, the main crew areas all in the forward quarter in a spade-shaped section approximately 45 meters at the crew section's widest point. To the rear of the 'crew section' is a 125-meter superstructure stretching back from deck two. Two midships sections on the spine contain ship's store's hangars, secondary life support, auxiliary generators, batteries, auxiliary life support, waste processing, and inertial dampeners. The rear arch, rising 6 meters over the attached to the spine contains the warp reactor and impulse engines. The 'wings' reaching forward from the arch both starboard and port contain the majority of the control thrusters, antigravity atmospheric lift systems, and dampeners for planetfall. In the cradle beneath the main spine are 6 large cargo tanks with autoload and transfer systems capable of being configured for liquids or ore.
=====Deck Layout:=====
*Deck One Contains; The bridge is on deck one, a raised deck space with a curved leading edge 7 meters wide by 40 meters internally. The officer's cabins are behind the bridge, with a common area and observation area in the rear of deck one. Standard Cabins for 3 officers.
*Deck Two contains; The primary passenger cabins located around the perimeter, as well as the mess hall in the center section. Standard Cabins for 58, modular, and reconfigurable.
*Deck Three contains; Medical Bay, Transporter Room, Navigational Deflector Control, Crew Cabins. Standard cabins for 20 crew.
*Deck Four contains; Main computer, Primary Sensor Suite, Primary Life Support, Damage Control Systems, Supply Hangars
*Deck Five spans the size of two decks and contains; Shuttle Hangar, Atmospheric Flight Forward Lift Thruster Systems
*Main engineering spans from the equivalent of a deck above deck one, down to deck three. The warp reactor is forward of the arch on deck three, while the twin impulse engines are located above deck one in the rearmost section of the arch connecting to the main fuselage.
