Build:Hull

4.0 Hull

The first step in starship construction is to design or choose a hull. A ship’s hull and skeletal structure form the frame to which all other systems are attached, and are ultimately what protect the ship’s crew from the vacuum of space. Starfleet hulls and skeletal structures are built of such materials as duranium, duritanium polyalloy, polyduranium, titranium, and tetraburnium.
