Getting around a ship can sometimes be worse than getting
around the galaxy. Any point on a ship is defined by its Deck and Compartment
numbers.
Decks
Standard-sized ships have twelve decks which, beyond the
reach of traditional gravity, are rarely lined up like neat storeys in a tower
block.

| Like this but worse |
Compartments
Each deck is broken down into twelve compartments, each a
self-contained room, bay or complex.
Need a random specific place on the ship? Roll 2d12 on the big list at the bottom of this post.
Transporters
Powered movers get you around the ship in the most
convenient way, but breakdowns and re-routings are pretty common.
Getting Around
Getting around on a single deck is straightforward enough,
but if you need to get between locations on different decks roll d6. Roll even
if you’ve already been there before:
1: No obvious way to even get to that deck, you’ll
need to go to a neighbouring deck and find a way from there.
2-3: Foot access only, so you’ll be passing through a
room on each deck on the way.
4-5: You can get a transporter to a random
compartment on that deck but then you’re on your own.
6: There’s a transporter that goes straight from here
to there!
Ship Variation
Not every ship follows this precise layout, so roll d6 if
you want to know the state of a particular compartment.
1: Nope, we’re coping without one of those.
2-3: It’s limited or in a bad state.
4-5: Yeah we’ve got one of them.
6: It’s state of the art, big, or otherwise
impressive.
