{{ | ===Layout=== | ||
The ''Point Blank''-class stealth cruiser has a large mission preparation hold, used by the ship's infantry complement to conduct training exercises. If needed, the hold's [[artificial gravity]] can be deactivated to allow for zero gravity combat scenarios, including those with floating obstacles to provide cover. The vessel features various [[hangar bay]]s meant to perform different duties. This includes a "drop hangar" large enough to comfortably hold the eight hundred members of the [[21st Space Assault Battalion]], twelve [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]]s, and a handful of other naval personnel.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS5}} There is also a "command hangar" where various ceremonies can be held, including funeral services where the dead are jettisoned into space while onlookers are protected by a retractable [[AlON pressure barrier]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS16|HSS|Chapter=16}} Toward the vessel's aft is a "fighter hangar," from which a compliment of [[space fighter]]s can be launched. On at least one of this hangar's bulkheads is a large tactical map that can be used to display fleet and fighter movements.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS19}} Finally, the ''Point Blank''-class stealth cruiser sports multiple small maintenance hangars where hardware can be worked on and repaired.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS17|HSS|Chapter=17}} | |||
