A Colony Ship is a type of spaceship specifically designed to transport a large enough population of Humans to a far location and enable them to survive of their own accord.
Concepts
Pods
This design supposes a main framework that is the Colony Ship, with the ability to attach "pods" to the framework and connect them as needed. This would allow for the customization of the ship through time, and permit a greater range of functions depending on how many pods were brought.
A list of typical pods:
Living Quarters
Government
Agriculture
Medical
Food Service
Entertainment
Communications
Water
There are many other possibilities, and functions from pods might be interchangeable - so a Food Service pod might end up with some Entertainment units, or an Agricultural/Water Storage pod. The exact size of the pod would determine the ultimate customization level.
Large Pods
A large pod might have a diameter of a mile or more. This entry explores the possible composition of a mile diameter pod.
