I.E.S Entrepreneur

The I.E.S Entrepreneur is a space vessel affiliated with the U.A. It is a medium sized vessel, capable of fulfilling various roles. It is one of the older space zeppelins, being completed in the early 25th century. The vessel has had a long history of adventures. It is one of the principal settings of New Front.

## Information

### General Information

The I.E.S Entrepreneur is a one of the smaller vessels designed by Trans-National Aerospace Engineering Incorporated. The Vessel is capable of housing and sustaining 4,480 crew members along with 1,020 civilians. Its design comes from the standard zeppelin configuration, only modified and designed to travel in space, like its sister vessels.

Its primary goal is to explore the outer areas of the galaxy, after being retired from its combat role in the late 2700s Even still, the vessel has seen a ton of action, encountering threats over and over. The vessel also escorts some higher ranking members in the alliance, despite its age.

The vessel has 20 accessible decks, though the main deck, the deck where the main weapons are located on has a higher ceiling compared to the others. Unlike other starships, but like its sisters, the bridge is located at the very bottom, as opposed to the front or top.

### Technical Information

This is one of the most advanced vehicles ever. Despite being older, it receives quite of bit of funding, mainly for its prestige and crew. As a result, it received slot of repairs and constant upgrades. The vessel has two hulls that separate the inside from the outside, an inner hull and outer hull. In between is a layer of various metals that help act as shielding and reinforce the vessel’s structural integrity.

The vessel is powered by two fission-fusion hybrid reactors made by Power Standard Co. These reactors allow the zeppelin to remain on its own for centuries at a time because of their long lifespan. They also have several automatic emergency precautions if something were to happen.

Propulsion comes from 20 plasma powered convection fuel injected engines. These engines, which are all connected to the central power and fuel system. There are no major moving components, the only moving component being the liquid plasma that powers the engine. There are 25 smaller engines on the sides for maneuverability and extra propulsion.

The vessel has a main should generator that uses a series of magnetic and plasma fields to deflect and object coming towards the ship.

The reactors, engines and sheiks generator are all interconnected. This is done to help them function efficiently. The shield generator uses plasma to help generate the magnetic fields that shield the ship from objects and projectiles.

This plasma, which is very cold, travels to the reactors to help cool them. The reactor causes the plasma to get hot, which “charges.” Because of the law of convection, the lighter less dense hot plasma travels at a past pace to the engines.

Once at the engines, it swirls around them, helping “charge” the engines as a field of ions is formed within to thanks to the “plasma tunnel.” The fast convection of the plasma causes the engine’s’ parts to move, with the charge particles helping form a type of fuel.

After leaving the engines, the cool plasma has chained slightly regarding its particles. It loses some particle while gaining some as well. This helps the shield generator in forming the aforementioned magnetic field. The cycle repeats.

### Armaments and defense

The vessel has a good amount of weaponry, having been a former frontline vessel. Its main weapons, designed to be used against heavier vessels are the six triple barrel heavy guns, along with two super heavy guns, one on each side.

There are a set of twenty light guns, eight of them double barrel and twelve of them single barrel. These are designed to be used against smaller more nimble vessels, having a faster reload time and targeting time.

There are forty plasma rotary cannons. half of them manned for used against enemy small craft, such as star fighters. Craft that could do devastating damage if left unchecked. They helped defend the vessel from these small craft while their own star fighters are tied up somewhere else, where ever that might be.

The Entrepreneur has several torpedo launchers and Ship to Space missile launchers. These are meant to provide devastating damage, primarily to the weaker part of the vessel using the least firepower possible. Torpedoes rely on natural mechanical force, while missiles rely on their fuel for propulsion.

The ship also has a laser, primarily meant for cutting through enemy ships when possible, although it can be used as a signaling device or to blind enemy combatants. It also host a tractor beam to real any enemies in.

## Designated Areas

AS stated, the Entrepreneur has 20 decks for its 5,500 passengers. The Entrepreneur is divided in several areas of course. These areas have specific functions in order to help ensure the ship has all the necessary necessities, accommodations and work areas. There are officially 15 types of designated sections. These sections are as follows (listed by alphabetical order):

### Bridge

The bridge is located at the very bottom of the vessel. This is the captain’s area of work, as well as that of the ship’s highest ranking officers. From here, they perform their duties, leading the rest of the ship to ensure a successful outcome regarding their missions.

The bridge itself is quite small, only being able to hold 50 people. The bridge is shaped like a rectangular prism, although the front is curvy, like a cylinder. The front has a series of glass panes, giving the bridge staff a view of space below. These windows end about 1/3 on either side, being replaced by blank walls. Well, not so blank. On these walls are series of computers and electronic equipment meant to be used by staff.

The center contains three chairs: one for the Commanding Officer (i.e Jackson), Executive Officer (i.e Micheal) and First Officer (i.e Magnesium). Behind that are more computers, along with the steering wheel. The far left and far right of the bridge contain the seats for the other members of the bridge staff, mainly the top officers.Towards the far back lie two elevators and two sets of stairs. The back of the bridge also has a slightly raised floor.

### Command Center

The command center is located directly above the bridge, encompassing decks A and B. This is where other high ranking officers work, ensuring commands are taken care of by their subordinates. The command center spans two decks, being located at the very bottom if the bridge were to be counted as a sub level. Of has enough space for 400 beings. The second floor is more of a loot type area, with an opening in the center, lined with glass rails that allows one to peek down below.

‘The north side of the command center had another opening, located at the very end. Here was a screen that was meant to be used for a projector. It is similar to the one on the bridge, only it was much, much, much bigger. It is meant to allow officers to view the battlefield, plans or anything that needs to be viewed, such as an important message or news broadcast.

The bottom level is an open area, meant to allow officers to communicate with each other. There are sets of table and chair to allow for planning, eating and other things. The second floor has cubicles and other forms of office space to allow for more office type work to be done. The command center contains amenities for the officers to use, such as bathrooms, private quiet rooms, a cafe and a break room, so they don’t have to leave every time they need to do something.

### Star Fighter Bay

The Star fighter Bay is the area where all star fighters are stored until they are needed for use. The bay spans four decks in height, along with two extra decks for office use. Fighters are located on the ground, along with several “shelves” on the walls, using magnetic based thrusters for temporary vertical take offs and landings that allow their pilots ot park them onto the shelves.

The bay itself is one of the darker areas of the vessel. Think about an industrial warehouse or factory that is really dim, with the overhead lights providing light, but not enough to completely brighten the entire area. The bay contains several locker rooms where pilots store their gear, equipment and supplies. There is an overhead balcony located near the main bay doors, where the signaler (the one who directs the aircraft), on the ground looks into the balcony, a commissioned officer will give them a salute, green lighting the forecoming operation and thus signaling for the signaler to tell the fighters to take off.

#### Star Fighters

The Entrepreneur has enough space for one wing of star fighters. One wing is equivalent to 108 craft. The Entrepreneur’s wing is known as Blitz Wing, mainly for their ability to quickly take on enemy star fighters and their ability to quickly put enemies down, a result of their unmatched coherence and rapid thinking.

## Notable Staff and Crew

#### Officers (bridge staff)

* Captain Jackson Brendon (Commanding Officer) - A relatively tall man. With a high prowess, he leads his men with a sense of bravery not seen in any other commander. He is well known for the battles he’s fought and the enemies he’s encountered.
* Commandant Micheal (Executive Officer)
* Commander Darry (Operations Officer)
* Lieutenant Commander Magnesium (1st Officer) - Being a robotic dragon, he sure is something. He is capable of doing things living beings can. And his capable of doing things only he (and other beings of his type) are. He is a dragon who can stay calm regardless of situation. So you can count on him to take charge if things get too out of hand.
* Master Lieutenant Steven (2nd Officer)
* Junior Ensign Alia Siriasei (Chief Engineer/Technical Officer) - A quadruped from the race known as Crosanty, Komodo dragon like reptiles, but with a torso and an extra sent of arms. She is relatively quiet, but unlike Magnesium, she “waits” for the right time to speak. She looks a little unnerving to anyone who glances at her, her big black eyes and tongue flickering out, as if waiting for prey. She also speaks with an unnerving hiss. She knowledgeable, and you can go to her whenever you need a information or advice.
* Junior Lieutenant Murphy Donny (Chief Service/Supply Officer)
* Senior Ensign Richard Xivi (Chief Weapons Officer) - Another dragon. Only, he is slimy. He is made of a slimy gooey substance. He has a brave courageous personality. He isn’t afraid to go full battle mode, and he has on hearty laugh. He also bears a mischievous grin, and isn’t afraid to curve or bend rules when needed. Shoot first, ask questions later.
* Junior Ensign Worthington (Chief Medical Officer) - A humble man. He is there when you need him, and is not one to fight. He only fights when it’s in the name of self defense. He is of the older members of the vessel, having been stationed on the vessel when it was under the command of the Chaplin Charl, the Entrepreneur’s last captain.
* Princess Pristina Alienca (Support/Commander) - A princess of the reptilian race of Ālāņêşê, she is graceful and beautiful, being the crown jewel of her family. But under all of that kindness likes a ferocious warrior and an eager explorer. She can both chop your head off, just as much as she wants to explore the outer reaches of the unknown.
