Fireships are barely habitable and lack even basic [[hangar]]s for [[strikecraft]] storage, [[gravity lift]]s or living quarters for crew comfort. Instead, every square inch inside the ship is dedicated to housing the ship's oversized [[energy projector]] and pulsed power systems. These living situations are uncomfortable for the crew, and can be extremely deadly due to the proximity to unshielded plasma systems.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||
