ABSTRACT DECKPLANS
Usually, just knowing the ship's hull and fittings are enough. Sometimes, though, we may need a detailed grid for combat or movement inside the ship. Before we get to hundreds of grids to depict a small cruizer, an intermediate level of detail is knowing the ship's decks and sections.
A deck is like a floor of a building, but for spaceships. A deck is 10 feet high.
A section is a textual description of what's inside a 20 x 20 square area inside the starship. That's roughly equivalent to an area with 100 feet wide x 100 feet long. Unless noted otherwise, a section is one deck high.
