Airlock

An Airlock is used to decompress a section of ship. It consists of an outside door, a room where the decompression takes place, and an inside door that leads into the ship. Anything inside the airlock room (or in the entire segment of the ship where the airlock is located, if the inside airlock door is not closed) will be forcefully jettisoned out into space when the doors are open. It can be controlled either from inside the airlock, at the door inside the ship, or at any main control station the airlock is connected to. It takes up one unit of size for every person the door is big enough to come through, or five for each fighter it is big enough to let through, or twenty-five if it’s big enough to let a Star Corvette through. Hangars come with airlock doors, and so it isn’t necessary to purchase one for use in your hangar. It costs 50 credits per unit of space it takes up.
