That's what I was going for, was a NEF idea. Everything is modular and can
'break' off to form a Comunications satellite, a lifepod, etc.

Err, what do you mean?

OOps!!!! ;-) My partner in crime has been off-line since he moved so the
backstory will be finished as soon as he gets back on-line. I also broke it
up into 'Eras' based on what you want to read.

With this little tidbit here, They both have a rotational gravity section,
the Daedalus' Grav section is three rings, that rotate, to provide gravity.
The Urania's Grav section is a large cylindrical module near the back. The
drives are a Tiberium-infused core. Must have that imaginite material. :)
