Areas of the Revelation
Eateries
Cafeterias: Due to the enormous size of an explorer class ship there are four main cafeterias on the Revelation. Three of them are spread out across the ship for convenience and serve the crew members. The fourth one is reserved only for officers. While the food here is diverse to cater to the large variety of races on the ship, the menus are set and the food cooked as a group, not for individuals. Effectively each is a large buffet allowing individuals to select what they want, but makes personal requests difficult and rare. Eating here is free of charge.

Chocolate Cafe: Though this is a coffee shop it is perhaps better known for its excellent hot chocolate. In addition to hot drinks it serves pastries and a small selection of candy, specializing in chocolate delights. This shop is run by a female chocolate brown hare. Since this shop is an amenity and not part of basic ship function it charges for its services. Crew members can have fees deducted from their monthly pay.
The Pie Shop: A shop specializing in a variety of pies, but also can deal in cakes. Until recently it had been under the care of Pumpkin Pie, the female turkey who served on the Holiday Sweets. As one may guess from the previous owner's call sign, the shop's specialty was pumpkin pies. However, after their removal from the ship, it has been taken over by a male giant panda that specializes in cheesecake. Since this shop is an amenity and not part of basic ship function it charges for its services. Crew members can have fees deducted from their monthly pay.
Berry Delight: A health food shop that specializes in fruits and yogurts. It is best known for its fruit cups, which contain a variety of cut fruit in a cup and are easy to take on the go. The shop is run by a male cockatoo. Since this shop is an amenity and not part of basic ship function it charges for its services. Crew members can have fees deducted from their monthly pay.
Priority Two: This is a restaurant that specializes in serving couples. The atmosphere is more romantic and the quality of dinner tends to be of a better quality as it is prepared for the individual, not cooked in bulk. Though specializing in couples anyone can eat here, and they are capable of serving larger group as long as plans are made in advance for the purposes of seating. It is run by a female tortoise who likes to meet customers personally when possible. Since this shop is an amenity and not part of basic ship function it charges for its services. Crew members can have fees deducted from their monthly pay.
Work and Training Areas
Gymnasium: The ship is equipped with a full gym for exercise and training. It has equipment for weight lifting, aerobics, practicing gymnastics and acrobatics, sparring matches, and a track for the basics, but equipped with various other equipment to help train and keep in shape.
Swimming Pool: A pool built into the ship. This can be used for recreation, practice, or training.
Targeting Range: There are two areas to the targeting range. The first is a standard straight shooting range, with set targets. This helps individuals to practice their aim and train in new types of weapons. Then there is the obstacle course that allows individuals to practice against moving targets, using cover and the environment, and even practice against fellow crew members.
Some like to use live weapons in this area with safety limits keeping an energy weapon's power to low. While this setting will not damage the ship's structure the impact will still be felt and may even leave a welt. Some believe this only encourages the participants to try all the harder to avoid being hit and better helps to simulate real conditions. Usually such minor injuries can easily be healed in the medical labs. For those that prefer to keep their training light there is equipment that uses targeting lasers and equipment that registers hits.
Flight Simulators (Restricted): These are training pods designed exactly like a fighter cockpit. The images and sensor readings in the cockpit are all simulated and this is used to train fighter pilots. This can be an instructional tool, or a tool for an already experienced pilot to further improve. Current programs include a ring game that is used for practicing control, battles with various types of other space and atmospheric fighters, mission runs such as drop zones for missiles or troops, etc.
Several different environment types are programmed into the simulators such as air, space, nebulas, gas giants, underwater, and more. It is possible to program new environments and settings to further expand the already large variety of options. There are ten pods per training room, each with a gunner option, and each can operate like any Terran craft. Some, or all, of the pods can be linked together to practice with teams working together or against each other.
While this is as close to realism as one can get with a simulator, it is important to note that there are differences. For starters, the simulator cannot accurately reflect factors such as inertial forces or impact from enemy weapons. Also, no matter how good the computer program, it can never truly reflect the ingenuity of a live opponent. Such factors cause some pilots to not care much for the simulators.
Note: This area is usually only available to pilots. It is an important piece of training equipment and not a game for recreation. For pilots it can often be both in one.
Stellar Research (Restricted): A room designed to replicate the images of space. It's hard to judge the exact dimensions of the room from the inside due to it all being black. The ceiling, walls, and floor all display the star systems. It has chairs that are particularly comfortable. Though black to help blend in, the chairs are more visible to avoid people crashing into them. Closer observation can also make out the walls and the corners of the room.
The images in the lab are taken from ship sensors, programmed star maps, and outer cameras. This allows researchers to study the maps up close without actually needing to go outside the ship. It has the ability to zoom in on systems and planets, or to expand outward and view more of the Known Universe. Anything not currently within sensor range is preprogrammed and contains limited information. The areas within range can be fed directly into this room, though it takes a five minute delay to process current information.
Note: This area is only restricted when it is in use. Schedules for the lab's use can be easily obtained. However, few others actually know of this lab unless they are in the science department or know someone that is. Lt. Junior Grade Kahl Sims is part of the science department when not serving as a pilot, and he brought Lt. Junior Grade Meredith Wynters here as well to show her his favorite spot on the ship.
Recreation Areas
Observation Deck: This is an area of the ship with an excellent view into space. It can provide a stunning view and is open to all crew members. The room is quite large which allows people to gather. Sometimes official ceremonies will be held her for the amount of room it provides as well as the view. When not being used for official purposes it is not uncommon to find at least a few people gathered here for the view or for the company. It is a popular spot among couples.
Movie Theater: This is a square room filled with seats. At the center is a large video cube. The cube is designed to transmit videos with a three dimensional image as a result of the way it is displayed. Scheduled movies can be seen here for crew wishing to watch something in public and with others. Though this could easily be done within the privacy of someone's quarters, it allows a chance for individuals to watch things and potentially meet new people as well. Normal crew members may make requests for the viewed movie, but have no direct say over which movie is being played at any particular time.
Auditorium: A large room with a stage and seats for an audience designed to carry sounds with optimal efficiency. It serves as a variety of uses, most of which involve entertainment. This room makes a prime choice for performances due to its acoustical design. Schedules for using this room and topics/performances can be easily obtained.

Arcade: This is a room that is equipped with various arcade games. Since the arcade is an amenity and not part of basic ship function it charges for its services. Some games pay per use. Other games, those with long stories and hidden features which can be unlocked, require a monthly fee to keep an account active. The more space the account uses the higher the monthly fee. Crew members can have fees deducted from their monthly pay.
