I forgot to mention, but your group of cogs will be called a 'Lance', and you can refer to your fellow pilots as 'Lancemates' (this terminology is taken from the BattleTech universe).  Pharazon is Lance Leader.  Groups of strikecraft will also be referred to as 'lances'.

You have free time to explore.  You can let me know either in IC or OOC where you want to explore and I will make a post detailing each area.  The areas are listed out in the Opening OOC post, but they are:

Bridge - Where the Captain, Commander and other officers are controlling the ship
Hangar - Where you currently are, where the cogs are stored and where maintenance is done on the cogs.  In the center is the Cadmus Reactor itself, the machine that manufactures and upgrades cogs.
Mess Hall - Where you go to eat and socialize.
Barracks - Living quarters, showers, gyms, offices.  Your luggage has already been moved there.
Engine Room - Where the Tachyon Harp Engine is located.  Also where thruster propulsion is located along with other essential support systems.  Where you'll find most of the engineers that don't work on the cogs.
Infirmary - Where the doctors and nurses work.  Also where the brig (on-ship jail) is located.
