ISV Endurance — General Arrangement

Side-elevation schematic. Meridian-class deep explorer, first of class — the largest vessel ISCA-FC has put into deep-frontier service. Drafted at the Houston-orbital yards in advance of commissioning, 2240. The hull is genuinely modular: five discrete sections, each its own pressure body, mated at structural collars and individually strikeable and refittable in dock. The habitation block amidships carries the bulk of a complement of roughly two hundred and forty — crew, Geneva oversight, science team, and the Nhál delegation — across stacked decks; she makes no planetfall herself, putting people and cargo down by lander from orbit. Two states are drawn below: as commissioned in 2240, and as she returned through the Span five years later — switch between them above the sheet.
