Centerplan Mothership

The Centerplan Mothership (Crestellon's Moon), commonly known as the Mothership, is a spaceship in the Ayweniverse. It is somewhat far from Aywen's planet. It is triple the size of Crestellon and has a electric magenta-on-black atmosphere.

## Features

The Centerplan Mothership's inside is vast and dark. Despite the massive size of the Mothership, most of its space remains uninhabited. The Mothership is divided into sections. One major section is the hotel section, which takes up a notable portion of the ship's interior. These hotels contain few guests, as most of the ship's inhabitants are laboring 24/7. The hotels often contain restaurants, cafes, etc. There is even an entire area of the Mothership dedicated to letting loose a gigantic, horizontal flame.

The inhabitants of the ship who are not laboring are those in the prison. The prison's occupants are those who were captured from outside of the ship. Any who fly too close to the Mothership are taken into the prisons and their spaceships are taken below the prisons, where they are raided and destroyed. Unfortunately, the bars holding prisoners inside their cells are large enough to allow the majority of its residents to escape, for the gaps in-between are wide. Nevertheless, the prison's bars are electric and thus are extremely dangerous. There are plenty of security cameras also installed to the prison cells, but these also prove to be ineffective as those who operate it hardly pay them any attention, for the threat of an electric shock is great enough to intimidate most. As mentioned prior, there is a section below the prison which functions as the graveyard for the prisoner's lost ships. The loot from the ship is taken out and the ship is deconstructed. Its materials are used to expand the Centerplan Mothership.

In order to allow transportation between all sections of the ship, there are elevators that travel lightning-fast between every part of the ship. They travel in all directions without difficulty. Unluckily, the ship has many rooms, some empty, some occupied. This requires the elevator to be able to curve around inhabited rooms without losing speed.

The largest portion of the Centerplan Mothership is its center. Its center houses an entire planet, sealed deep within the ship. That is where most labor occurs, typically done by miners. The planet is rich in ore, making it an obvious choice to be mined within. The crust of the planet is extremely deep, and its core is far enough downwards that heat has a difficult time escaping. This allows laborers to dig to immensely deep depths without worrying about heat. It is believed that the Mothership was built around the planet, due to its size. It takes up 2/3 of the Mothership's internal space. In fact, the name "Centerplan" comes from the fact that a planet lies at the ship's core.

A smaller portion of the Mothership, located (also) at its center, is a section where asteroids are stored, for similar reasons as the planet mentioned above. The reason the Centerplan Mothership is located in the area that it is is because the asteroids are rich in materials which can be used for weaponry.

## Exterior

The Centerplan Mothership is an elongated, somewhat oblong celestial vessel designed to extract materials from planets and store them within. Six large, dome-shaped lights (called domelights) are attached to either side of Mothership. These domelights are designed to illuminate surrounding planets and (mostly) asteroids. They are about the size of a moon (as demonstrated by Crestellon). The domelights are designed in a manner that makes them last for long periods of times. However, the size of the glass makes it vulnerable to shattering from asteroid impacts, as well as overheating from within.

In the case of Crestellon, one of the lightbulbs overheated and shattered. This caused millions of glass shards to expel forth and rain upon the planet. It also caused a great electrical discharge to be released, strong enough to shock Crestellon's nearby planets out of their regular orbit. Fortunately, the Mothership is large enough to have its own gravitational force that prevents the nearby planets from crashing into Crestellon. The gravitational force of the ship is weak enough to force the planets into a stalemate where they are stuck between two gravitational fields. This forces the planets directly outwards from both the Mothership and Crestellon.

## Trivia

The Centerplan Mothership has been around Crestellon for over 40,000 years. The domelight closest to Crestellon acted as its star prior to its destruction, as the planet has no natural star within its solar system. Due to Crestellon's lack of rotation, this forced a side of the planet into a perpetual night. After its destruction, the entire planet was forced into a constant night.

## Contribution

The Centerplan Mothership plays a major role in the story. It is accessed after Crestellon and explored thoroughly. It is piloted towards TBN, leaving Crestellon behind. This disrupts the solar system's gravity, causing one of the nearby planets to crash into Crestellon. (TBC)
