''Halcyon''-class cruisers are composed of five hexagonal and octagonal sections mounted onto each other. The [[bridge]] is slung underneath one of the forward sections and eight [[Hangar bay|docking bays]] are distributed throughout the ship. There are also slots for eighteen lifepods on the ship's hull. Lastly, the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] cannon is visible as a bump on the bow. | ''Halcyon''-class cruisers are composed of five hexagonal and octagonal sections mounted onto each other.
