Coloniser vessel: "C.V. Mercer"

In 2067,  high-tech colonies are ready for population on the planet Mars

This craft is the flagship vessel bringing new colonists on their voyage to a new life;  The C.V. Mercer, or 'Tin Cans' as she is affectionately known by her crew.

The ship is made up of four huge Habitat pods, each accommodating up to 2000 new Martian migrants.

The pods simulate gravitational force inside, by constantly rotating at a barely noticeable pace.

Huge solar panels reflect light from the sun into the windows on the sides of the pods.  These open and close on a 24hr cycle, simulating an atmospheric environment. (this adjusts to 25 hrs as they approach Mars, to simulate a Martian day length.)

Passengers are able to enjoy a leisurely lifestyle while aboard, with arts, sport, shopping, and comfortable residential apartments.

In the center of the ship is the humble command and communications hub, which houses the crew and captain.
