Ferris

Created Sunday 04 December 2022

Standard (if something can be said of things still created essentially each for its own purpose, like Hagges) system defense platforms. They are comprised of two identical hulls facing out from an open center where spins a largish series of G bays---compartments spun to 1G. Each is connected to its neighbors with a flexible tube and can be drawn in or extended as needed to account for changes in mass, etc. in that section compared to the others to kerep the ship balanced.
The dual hulls each looks like a clam with shells made of a 1970 Cadillac's hood. A γ-gun array fills the corners between the shells. Three AM rocket bays stretch out near the wheel of G bays, a triangle on each side of ship, two "up" on one side where there's only one "up" on the other.

The wheel can be retracted and folded up so that the Ferris can travel faster in system or be able to fit through a jump spot. (Or whatever I call them)



Every Decider ship, even Ferrises, are stocked with olive oil and a garden of various fresh bassica.



Maybe the robots etc. on Ferrises being named after Egytian funerary servants and creatures? Ushabti, for example, for general maintenance robots
