Cargo Bay 2 (smaller cargo bay on most starships)

== Cargo Bay 2: A starship generally has at least two cargo bays for storing spare parts, consumables, personal effects of the crew and passengers, portable equipment, hazardous materials, and other supplies not easily replicated. The image below is by Falke on Deviantart.com, who does wonderful 3D work and only asks that he be given credit for using his images in our writing. ==

This cargo bay has a capacity of 500 metric tonnes, and has its own environmental controls for storage of biological samples. Cargo Bay 2 can easily be converted into a hydroponics bay, or into a third sickbay. Medical supplies, biobeds, and other equipment is already stored here for such an eventuality. This cargo bay can easily be reconfigured to simulate types H, K, or L environments, intended for non-humanoid casualties. There is a cargo elevator that connects Cargo Bay 2 with Cargo Bay 4, so that crates and canisters can be brought aboard through the bay doors on Deck 6, then easily transferred to Cargo Bay 2 on Deck 5.
