Bridge

Here is where Captain Panic steers the S.S. Panic into the unknown, hoping to find something to restore the lost planets. Or maybe just his own home planet. The jury's still out on that. Located at the head of the ship to the north and colored red on the map. The living area here is limited to the crew of the ship, and access is heavily restricted.

Dining

Here's the place to go to get the eats. There's fast food, there's fancy food, there's food you've never heard of. It's no big deal to have one building be a ramen shop and the next a deep-fried space monster joint. Characters who start up restaurants will be required to have their establishment in this area of the ship. Located to the north-east and colored orange on the map.

Industry

Home of the factory workers. It's a loud district, and even the ship's air filters don't do much to protect its residents. Machines, tools and fuel are made here, along with the day-to-day things that keep the S.S. Panic running smoothly. Located to the east and colored yellow on the map.

Education

The youth of today is the future of tomorrow! Or so they say. Here, the entire district is filled to capacity with all sorts of schools. There are trade schools, elementary schools, universities and colleges.... Schools are tuition free and in fact pay you to attend, as long as you do the work. The school that produces the best students is unwelcoming to anyone who isn't a Belcerebon. Located to the east and colored green on the map.

Nature Reserve

Every floor is outfitted with a large nature reserve where flora and small fauna of various planets live. There are several parks on each floor, perfect for taking a stroll in the middle of the... wait, what time of day is it? Each floor has a holographic sky which reflects a different time of day.

Level 5: Dead of night
Level 4: Early morning
Level 3: Afternoon
Level 2: Dusk
Level 1: Early evening

The weather varies from day to day. Sometime, nature visitors are sprayed with a gentle mist, a torrential downpour, a flurry of snow.... So if you don't want to visit the current planet or are trying to hide from the Infinite Improbability Drive, this is probably your best bet. Located to the south-east and colored turquoise on the map.

Garbage Disposal

Once a week, trash is collected and incinerated into oblivion. Sometimes the workers are lazy and shoot the bigger pieces of junk off into space. It's not like there are any consequence to that... right? Right! As a note, garbage disposals are only located on Levels 1 and 5; the levels in between (2, 3, 4) are combined into one room and serves as a hangar for smaller space crafts. Located to the south (we all know why) and colored summer sky blue on the map.

Commercial District

If you've got a lot of credits to burn, you'll probably be spending a lot of your time here. Malls dot the center of the district with all kinds of stores, from video games to specifically-shaped toilet seats, surrounding the malls. Grocery stores are also located here as well since they typically don't serve food to you. If you have a specific thing you're trying to find, you might find it here. Often times relics from the homeworlds of the ship's passengers show up, too. If it looks like it might fetch a fair price? It will. Located south-west and colored blue on the map.

Recreation

After a long, hard day of being you, you've gotta relax. From libraries to spas to hug companies, anything that might be relaxing can be found here. Want to pet kittens? Skinny dip? Swim with dolphins? It's all here. Depending on the levels, services are adequate to absolutely astounding with varying prices the increase the closer the level gets to 1. Located in east and colored violet on the map.

Agriculture

Similar to the nature reserve in that there's nature everywhere. Living beings have to eat, and so here fruits and vegetables are cultivated for the ship's passengers. There's also a few ranches here to supply animal meat. The people who live in this section will be doomed to forever hear a space chicken crow at "dawn." Located to the east and colored psychedelic purple on the map.

Night Entertainment

Although it's classified as "night entertainment," this district is open for what would be 24 hours a day on Earth. There are clubs, bars, evening shows, strip clubs, you name it. For more evening-based or adult fun, this is the place to be. There's no drinking age because it's such a hassle to check who is and who isn't of age based on their homeworld. Located north-east and colored neon pink.

Residential Area

If you'll take a look at the map, you'll see strips of colored blocks on the perimeter of the spider-shaped space ship. These are the areas characters will live. Meanwhile, in the center of the area is where the main attraction of each district will be. Level 5 is the cheapest districts with poorer quality goods and services, and especially poor quality apartments. But as characters move up, or visit the lower numbered levels, the quality goes up, as do the prices.

The light gray part in the center is where the residents live who have been a part of the ship for decades; aliens whose family has generations here on the ship. Although it makes the "hallways" between everything look narrow, the ship is city-sized so there's little risk of making people feel claustrophobic.

Infinite Improbability Drive

The heart of the ship. This is what powers the S.S. Panic and enables it to search for a way to restore the destroyed planets. Or make more planets, although it doesn't seem like Magrathea feels like being anything more than a legend. Its location is inaccessible thanks to its Plot Armor.

Elevators

Elevators aren't your typical Earth-like elevators. Touch them, and they'll take you to any place you want to go. Too lazy to walk up four flights of stairs? Don't worry. Just whisper "Level 1" to it gently and you'll be whisked away to Level 1. If it's feeling generous, it might even take your to the district you tell it! However, they seem unhappy with transporting people who insult them, so do be nice around them.
