In the Novelization, the ship initially has an auxiliary-generator that is burnt out during it's escape from Cera. A shield can later be procured from the store. The bridge is actually at the centermost of the ship for maximum protection.Īlthough the Sunrider was intended to be equipped with a energy shield generator, Cera was attacked by PACT before it could be installed. The topmost point of the Sunrider isn't the bridge, but an observation deck designed to be used as last resort for making optical observations in case of shadow operations or ECM attacks, which, like the Mess Hall, have armored plates that slide shut over the windows in case of combat. This sliding-bulkhead countermeasure is also utilized for the Sunrider's Ryder-deployment system to seal it after the Ryders are launched, which in turn connects to a large central hanger bay that can carry a maximum of twelve Ryders. ![]() ![]() All windows inside the quarters are actually holographic (showing what would be seen using the Sunrider's multiple sensors), and the ones in the Mess Hall contain armored sliding walls that close during combat protecting the interior (there are sliding walls too in the cabinets to avoid the loss of supplies). With enough space for it's crew of 50, it also has exclusive quarters for both the captain and the First Officer, and a Mess Hall. With the hangar at deck 2 (the lowest part) below the bridge, the Sunrider concentrates its armament on top of its hull, and the Vanguard cannon taking up space throughout the length of the ship. Measuring 735 meters of length, the Sunrider is consistently described as a behemoth, but a sleek looking one.
