FORWARD HULL

On the forward hull, an auxiliary deflector dish supplements the main dish, and a large bank of sensor instruments provides data on phenomena along Bethel's flight path.	Flanking the auxiliary deflector and positioned in other locations around the ship are the transporter emitters, the large flat antennae responsible for sending and receiving the transporters' focussed matter-streams.	There are also the reaction control thrusters at several points around the hull.	There are also escape pod hatches at numerous points.

Groupings of half-round tubes which generally follow the defensive shield grid are part of the structural integrity field (SIF), which comprise the energy devices that keep the ship rigid during high impulse and warp flight as well as during attacks by hostile forces.

Bethel's phasers are contained in large strategically placed multi-emitter strips. The picture (right) shows Bethel firing phasers using the starboard phaser array, with another volley starting up from the port emitters. More information in SHIP: Weapons. Information source: ST:M

Warning graphics and signs, usually in red, can be seen around the phaser emitters, escape hatches and other access areas.

SHUTTLEBAY

Full-size 42Kb. Source: ST:M

The shuttlebay is located at the very rear of Bethel. The yellow markings are used by shuttlecraft pilots for visual alignment of the final approach sequence.

ROOM LOCATIONS

Deck 1: bridge, ready room, briefing room (a.k.a. conference lounge). In the area immediately behind the main bridge is space for two escape pods, spacesuit lockers, an airlock, a small office space, and a weapons locker (ST:M)

Deck 2: Messhall and galley

Deck 4: Cargo bay, transporter rooms

Deck 5: Sickbay

Deck 6: Holodeck [#16 Learning Curve] and, towards the stern, storage area for deuterium (ST:M), and at the front of the ship the structure and equipment related to the auxiliary deflector (ST:M).

Deck 8: Astrometrics lab

Decks 9 and 10: Shuttlebay [#54 Macrocosm] (ST:M)

Deck 11: Engineering (control room - the engineering section is large and forms the engineering hull)

Deck 12: Environmental control [#54 Macrocosm]

Deck 14: externally, the primary tractor beam emitter is located at the rear of Deck 14 on the trailing edge of the Engineering hull, underneath the shuttle approach ledge. This means that internally there will be fittings relating to this facility.

Deck 15: Plasma relay room, junction 16 [#140 Good Shepherd]

Bethel has 257 rooms

Crew quarters are mainly in the upper saucer forward of the bridge module, and some are located on deck 13.
