Chapter 23 - Galaxy-class Main Shuttle Bay Tour (Patreon)

The room we were in was the main shuttle bay, if I wasn’t mistaken. As the Tikuma was a galaxy-class starship it was indistinguishable from the Enterprise, beyond a few different markings here and there. The space was cavernous, multiple decks high, and I was struck again by how inadequate the shows had been in depicting the immensity of this space due to budgetary concerns, I’m sure. There were a dozen or more shuttles in view in their various berths, cargo transporter pads on some walls, storage areas, repair stations with spare part storage and tools, photon torpedo racks, an observation lounge and large elevated transparent aluminum clad control booths to supervise operations in this space. There were multiple entrances, and ladders and stairs to the upper levels. It was flipping huge. This was definitely the main shuttle bay on a Galaxy-class starship.
