			'''Blaze-Bringer'''<br>

			<br>''Statue, Plaza of the Triumphant''</div>
			The only gun on the ''Aetherius Aeternum'' left unmolested by the extensive refurbishments after it mysteriously re-appeared, ''Blaze-Bringer'' is an ancient and beautiful device. The massive breech-loading cannon is staffed by almost eight thousand ratings, and for a good reason. The massive, thirty meter long warheads are pulled from the ship's munitions storage almost entirely unaided by machines. Sweating drag-gangs spend long minutes of backbreaking labour until at last the shell is loaded.<br>
			Commissioned by Agamemmnon Exaviar Viaticus, the cannon's breech is framed by two fifteen-meter tall statues of gilded adamantine. The left, arms outstretched, holds in its hands a planet of unknown contours, whilst the right statue holds a massive sword raised in an overhead blow. As such, the primary purpose of this gun has never been forgotten: To bring the flames of war to planets that offend the Lord-Captains of House Viaticus.<br>

			'''The Sparktakers'''<br>
			The four Disruptor-cannon broadsides installed on the behest of Lord-Captain Alexis stand out. It is always a jarring experience for lower-deck ratings freshly assigned to those batteries to replace the dead and injured, as the ancient and age-worn adamantium and ceramite of the ''Aetherius Aeternum'' suddenly give way to gleaming, unscarred metal. It is this air of near-alien newness that has already led to severe rivalries between the ratings assigned to the so-named ''Sparkbuster'' broadsides and those of the ''Blaze-Bringer'' Bombardment cannons, as the shared sentiment of the gunnery crews is that they, and their equipment, are superior to the ancient and moribund (so they claim) bombardment cannon and its attendants. <br>

			'''Signum Victoriae'''<br>
			The gigantic armored prow of the ''Aetherius Aeternum'', installed after a lengthy debate between the Lord-Captain and his command crew. Replacing an old prow-mounted macrocannon battery, the new prow is a menacing thing: Painted in the silver-on-black color scheme of House Viaticus, nearly .75 megatonnes of adamantium have been fashioned into the face of a swooping Imperial Eagle, the twin heads sporting tremendous beaks, which serve as the actual breachers for ramming operations.<br>

	There is only one entrance to the teleportarium; a wide corridor with multiple defensive bulkheads and autogun turrets, in case something escapes the teleportarium and tries to rampage aboard the ship.

			==== The Crew Quarters ====
			'''The Stacks'''<br>
			The vast, sprawling mass of hab-blocks that the crew of the Aetherius Aeternus are... surprisingly clean, a far cry from the grimy, dingy hive conditions most of the crewmen are used to. The younger ratings don't seem to mind, and have taken to personalizing their living space with mementoes from home, and not a few pets.

			The older voidsmen note that the crew quarters were absolutely spotless despite the vessel having been abandoned for centuries. In fact, the rest of the blocks are scrupulously tidied as well. And there are rumors going on about how the waste simply... vanishes by itself, and of strange, tiny shapes scurrying about in the night-cycles, fleeing human contact as much as possible.

			Still, they're better than pressed-crew qyarters, even if the luxury quarters alloted to the captain and the senior officers do induce some jealousy. All the same, the elder voidsmen have readily taken to Boris and his Squad organizing the blocks and floors into defense teams and scouting out the stairwells and floors for heavy weapons emplacements.

	The capstone of the luxury guest (and officer) quarters is a great plaza, perhaps a quarter-kilometer in diameter. The vaulted roof stretches three stories and is covered with frescoes commissioned by generation after generation of Lord-Captain - often a record of past triumphs, with a sprinkling of illustrations of martyrs and Imperial Saints. Tended lawns are crossed by garden paths, and the borders of the plaza are marked by trees and plants from Holy Terra and from planets across the Imperium. The centerpiece is a golden statue, a dozen feet tall, of the Emperor Himself. Resplendent in His armour and crowned by a halo of light and a garland of leaves, He stares resolutely forward, His expression communicating his unmatched power and presence - truly a credit to the sculptor hired by the first master of the ''Aetherius Aeternus''.

			==== The Teleportarium ====
			'''The Teleportarium Chamber'''<br>
			The AA's teleportarium is a large room a hundred feet on each side and three stories tall. At its center is the teleport pad, which is where outgoing personnel actually stand when to be transported on and off the ship. The actual machinery of the pad is warded by a 30cm block of transparent steel, which can be mechanically raised in order to conduct maintenance on the pad. At the sides of the room are the heavily armored bulges containing the remainder of the teleport machinery that cannot fit under the pad.

			The teleportarium is overseen by a control station set into the walls of the teleportarium, through which the Electropriests responsible for overseeing the artifact's arcane workings watch the pad through windows of the same transparent steel that shields the pad machinery. Their consoles contain an interlink to the ship's bridge, allowing them to teleport to and from teleport homing beacons, as well as diverting some of the ship's auger capacity to perform independent scanning. Their consoles also control the defensive autoguns that line the room; heavy flamer and heavy bolter turrets blanket the pad area with multiple overlapping fields of fire, which is a wise precaution when one considers that the teleportarium is also used to "receive" quests teleported up from planetside.

			There is only one entrance to the teleportarium; a wide corridor with multiple defensive bulkheads and autogun turrets, in case something escapes the teleportarium and tries to rampage aboard the ship. This layout also makes it easy for formed bodies of troops to march onto the teleport pad together.
