    Class 720 Light Freighter

    The Ghtroc Class 720 was developed by Frank V

    Bonurawith help from Ross Hedvicek, Ed Obarowski, Paul Cargile, B.M.K., and L.P..

    The deckplan and exterior views are based mainly on the original drawing from Star

    WarsThe Roleplaying Game (page 121), drawn by John Paul Lona, published by

    West End Games.

    Capsule:A less popular, but no less durable freighter design, the Ghtroc

    freighter model became popular in the Outer Rim Territories, where the

    manufacturer[a] was based. While Ghtroc Industries has since gone out of

    business, several thousand of the freighters remain in service, especially for

    simple cargo runs, where combat is not expected.

    Ghtroc 720 Freighter

    The Ghtroc Industries 720 is not as popular as the YT-1300, though it's still

    just as good. It was extensively used in the Outer Rim Territories, where the

    now dissolved starship company[a]was based. Ghtroc Industries designed the

    720 to[b]upgrade the systems on its 580 light freighter, and to compete with

    Corellian Engineering's transport it comes close in some areas, while being

    slightly deficient in others. The 720 was widely used to haul essential goods

    from the Outer Rim's commerce centers to outlying colonies. Free-traders

    found the ships to be affordable and well-suited for small-scale cargo runs to

    backwater settlements. Though the manufacturer[a] has since gone out ofbusiness, several thousand Ghtrocs[c]are still in service throughout the galaxy.

    Parts for the ship are still plentiful,[c]and just as easily jury-rigged as those for

    the Corellian transport.[1]

    The stock Ghtroc is generally a more sound vessel than the YT-1300. It has

    shields though they're not too powerful the maneuvering system is better,

    and there's more room in the hold. Larger size isn't always a benefit: the slow

    ion drives strain to push the transport anywhere. The double laser cannon is on

    a fixed mount forward[d] the Ghtroc's size make it difficult to line up your field

    of fire,[d]even with the greater maneuverability. Most owners take advantage of

    the superstructure configuration amidships to add a dorsal and ventral turretgun. They're best at cargo runs, and aren't as effective in combat as the YT-

    1300.

    Unlike the Corellian transports, Ghtrocs have no variation in cockpit

    configuration they're centrally mounted. Crew quarters, cargo bays and

    escape pods are oriented around a central power core. Since the ion drives

    are both up front and in the aft with the hyperdrives, engineering spaces are

    spread out. It's nice having some of the subspace engines close to the cockpit

    in case you need to effect hasty repairs in a fight, but you'll make it up when you

    have to split your attention between fore and aft when the hyperdrives or the

    rear ion drives go, too.[e]I'd much rather have all the technical access for both

    drives in one place, even if it is in the back.

    Errata and Notes:

    [a]Unknown Corporation

    The specific location of the Ghtroc Industries shipyards, the years it operated, and the time

    period (year) the company went out of business were never mentioned in any official

    publication save for its general location in the Outer Rim Territories. Considering the stats

    indicate a price for a new ship, it suggests some new Class 720s may still be in dealer stock

    and that the company may have gone out of business some time around the Battle of Yavin.[b]Grammar - Word Missing

    The "to" was missing from this sentence in the original source and is believed to be a typo.[c]Unknown Production Scope

    The specific number of Class 720 modelsproduced by the Ghtroc Industriesshipyards, is not

    known nor was it mentioned in any official publication. Considering what we know about

    productivity of the major aircraft and aerospace manufactures of Earth, we suspect "several

    thousand Ghtrocs" is a very rough estimate at best. Based on 21st century Earth fabricationtechnology, we estimate that if the Ghtroc 720was produced for several years, there could be

    as many as 30,000 Ghtroc 720sstill in service in the RPG game setting.[d]Crew Discrepancy

    The original stat for: "Crew: 1 or 2 (can coordinate)" was replaced in later publications with

    "Crew: 1, gunners: 1". This is believed to be a typo because all sources indicate the stock

    Double Laser Cannon is mounted in a fixed-frontfiring position and can only be aimed by the

    pilot maneuvering the ship.[e]Sublight Thruster Locations

    Originally this source said:

    Since the ion drives are up front and the hyperdrives are aft,

    engineering spaces are spread out. It's nice having the subspace engines

    close to the cockpit in case you need to effect hasty repairs in a fight, but

    you'll make it up when you have to split your attention between fore and aft

    when the hyperdrives go, too. Platt's Sm ugglers Guide, pp. 32-33 ( sic)

    However this statement is contradicted by the artwork in three other sources:

    1. Platt's Starport Guide, p. 29

    2. The Star WarsRoleplaying Game, Second Edition, Revised and Expanded, p. 182

    3. Platt's Smugglers Guide, p. 40

    The third source, Platt's Smugglers Guide, p. 40, happens to be the same book that made

    the erroneous statement in the first place. In the artwork of all of those sources, it can be

    clearly seen that all three ships are traveling at sublight speeds and we can see the exhaust ofthe sublight thrust coming out from the rear of those ships. Furthermore, the dorsal surface or

    zenith (top) of most Ghtroc 720artwork depicts similar heat dissipation grilles (consistent with

    sublight drives) on both forward fins and in the tail of the ship. In light of this body of evidence

    that proceeded this publication and the presence of a contradiction in the same book, we

    strongly believe this statement is in error and is a typo. We have thus ignored this statement in

    our ship design.

    Ask y our Gamem aster to ins ure thes e correc tions are allowed and if any changes are needed to f it them into y our cam paign.

    Optional Rules:

    [1] Ease of Modification

    For those Gamemasters who have house rules that give bonuses to modify Corellian-built

    ships, we recommend applying those same house rules to this ship as well.

    Lower Deck Descriptions

    Unless otherwise noted, this deck has a maximum ceiling height of 2.29 meters (7ft

    6in) in the cargo holds and 2.03 meters (6ft 8 in) in the crew and passenger areas.

    Descriptions of the lower deck's various rooms and compartments are listed below.

    Entry Ramp Room:

    The "chin" houses the ship's entry ramp and forward airlock. This airlock is

    fully functional and can be used for space walks. The ramp is coated with a

    high-traction surface to prevent slips and falls. When lowered to the ground,

    the ramp is pitched at an angle to facilitate wheeled and tracked droids or

    other similar loading equipment. The ramp when lowered is rated at 700

    kilograms and can lift to the closed position the same weight. Races or droids of

    greater weight than 700 kilograms should employ the cargo lift in the aft of the ship for

    entrance and egress.

    Sensor Compartment:

    The outer "chin", "shoulders" and

    "epaulets" contain the ship's sensors and

    communication equipment. This equipment

    can be accessed and serviced through

    access doors in the entry ramp room.

    Working conditions in the Sensor

    Compartment are difficult for human-sized technicians due to the lack of insulation

    (frequent and rapid extremes of hot and cold), lack of radiation shielding, and tight

    working conditions. The compartment is better suited for droid or technicians wearing

    an environment suit if prolonged or extensive service and maintenance is required.

    The following standard equipment is installed in this compartment:

    Forward Mechanical Rooms

    (port and starboard - port side shown, starboard side similar):

    The forward "fins" house the ship's ion

    maneuvering thrusters, forward/flanking shields

    (projectors, Controllers, and generators), and the

    ship's batteries. Also housed here are some of

    the ship's consumable storage tanks, fuel tanks,

    and fueling pumps. All can be accessed for

    service or maintenance by the doors at the endsof the forward corridors.

    A space rated bulkhead and door separates

    the shield generator from the rest of the

    compartment. This is to prevent depressurization

    of the rest of the compartment in the event the

    shield generator is targeted and destroyed.

    Work room is abundant in this compartment providing easy access to both the

    human-sized technician as well as the service maintenance droid. During normal

    operations, the Forward Mechanical Rooms will be some the the warmest

    compartments of the ship. The following standard equipment is installed in this

    Hyperdrive Booster Compartments

    (port and starboard - port side shown, starboard side similar):

    Behind the forward "fins" are two small compartments (port and starboard)

    that house the booster coils for the ship's hyperdrive. Part Numbers:

    GHT0700-SD-H7332L and GHT0700-SD-H7332R respectively. A skillful pilot

    could shoot here and cripple the ship's hyperdrive with minimal damage to the

    rest of the vessel. Due to all the fluidics conduit, movement through this room

    should be considered of Moderatedifficulty. Droids without human-like legs

    should treat this area as Difficultterrain.

    Forward Compartments (Port and Starboard):

    Behind the Sensor Compartment are aseries of rooms. They contain the forward

    landing gear rooms (port and starboard), the

    premium passenger berths (bedrooms), and

    the central foyer. This section of the ship is

    equipped with the most sound and vibration-

    absorbing systems thus providing the most

    comfortable travel conditions on the ship.

    During typical flight operations, this area will see the most passenger and crew traffic

    due to its relative central location, proximity to vital ship systems and public-usage

    compartments.

    Forward Landing Gear Rooms

    (port and starboard - port side shown, starboard side similar):

    The forward landing gear rooms can be accessed from the Forward

    Corridors. The doors to these compartments are a reinforced blast door

    intended to prevent decompression in the event the outer landing gear door

    is damaged. It is possible but not recommended to use this compartment as

    a makeshift airlock in the event of an emergency. Forward Landing Strut Assemblies

    are Part Numbers: GHT0700-UN-LS4523PF and GHT0700-UN-LS4523SF

    respectively. Ghtroc Industries recommends routine inspection of the Landing StrutAssemblies every 120 standard hours of normal ship operation.

    Premium Berths

    (port and starboard - port side shown, starboard side similar):

    The premium berths (bedrooms) each contain a set of bunk beds, 2

    dressers, and 1 padded chair each. The room locations provide the least

    noise and vibration for passengers comfort.

    Central Foyer:

    Located aft of the entry ramp. A second ramp to the upper deck lowers

    from the ceiling in this compartment to provide access to the cockpit above.

    When lowered the areas outside the caution stripes form an oval shaped

    path to walk around the lowered ramp.

    The ramp is coated with a high-traction surface to prevent slips and

    falls. When lowered to the lower deck, the ramp is pitched at an angle to

    facilitate wheeled and tracked droids or other similar loading equipment.

    The ramp when lowered is rated at 700 kilograms and can lift to the closed position

    the same weight. Races or droids of greater weight than 700 kilograms should

    remain on the lower deck.

    Forward Corridors

    (port and starboard - port side shown, starboard side similar):

    Located port and starboard of the foyer. On the aft faces of the

    forward corridors are access to the cargo holds (port and

    starboard) and the crew berths (bedrooms).

    Crew Berths

    (port and starboard - port side shown, starboard side similar):

    The crew berths (bedrooms) are quite spacious and provide private

    rooms for both pilot and co-pilot. They contain 1 bed, 1 dresser, 1wardrobe, 1 padded chair, and 1 small wall-mounted desk each. Noise

    and vibration in these rooms are almost as good as the premium berths.

    Galley (Kitchen):

    Located aft of the port crew berth the galley (kitchen), is designed

    to deal with 2 crew and 10 passengers as long as all don't try to eat at

    the same time. The galley has 1 food processor, seating for 8, 1

    refrigerator and 1 pantry.

    Head (Fresher - Bathroom):

    Located aft of the starboard crew berth, the head (fresher - bathroom)

    is designed to deal with 2 crew and 10 passengers as long as all don't try

    to bathe, wash, or use the toilets all at the same time. The head has 2

    sinks, 3 toilets, 1 single and 1 double shower.

    Central Reactor Room:

    At the very center of the ship is the power core. Its central location

    provides for the shortest possible distance for power to be distributed to

    the forward and aft thrusters as well as all ship systems requiring power.

    The ship's main reactor is so large, it extends to the upper deck and is

    surrounded by a ring corridor.

    Ring Corridor:

    Allows access forward to the ship's galley, port or starboard

    cargo holds, port or starboard economy berths, and aft to theship's cargo loader.

    The aft hatch is a heavy blast door rated to withstand the

    explosive decompression of the cargo lift compartment behind it.

    If the outer hatch and cargo lift are extended into the vacuum of

    space, the aft door will automatically lock and warning flashers

    will strobe to prevent accidental decompression of the ship. The

    automatic lockout can be manually overridden at the aft door's control panel or from

    the cockpit.

    Cargo Holds

    (port and starboard - port side shown, starboard side similar):

    Located port and starboard of the ring corridor, the

    cargo holds can be accessed from varrous points on the

    lower deck. The holds have a maximum ceiling height of

    2.29 meters (7ft 6in). Ceiling hight can accommodate

    most smaller wheeled or tracked cargo loading

    equipment or droids. Maximum recommended stack

    height is two one meter high cargo containers or one

    two meter high cargo container so as to prevent

    damage to the ceiling of the cargo hold when moving

    and loading freight.

    The holds are designed to transport dozens of cargo

    pallets, speeder bikes, swoops-sized objects, or can

    hold many car-sized ground vehicles, or several

    speeders in each.

    Each cargo hold has a total of 225 cubic meters of

    storage space. The holds can be loaded from the cargo

    lift room, or the aft loading rooms.

    The ceilings of the holds have many pull-down

    hatches equipped with fold-down ladders for accent, to

    facilitate system repairs, maintenance, and replacement

    of fuel cells. The grill-works on the deck of the holds are removable allowing access to

    the ship's massive repulsorlift systems for repair and maintenance.

    Warning: Numerous holds and tie-down points are located throughout the

    cargo holds to allow for mechanical blocking and bracing of cargo loads during

    flight. Ghtroc Industriesrecommends that all cargo be secured and properly tied

    down and that all cargo loads be balanced evenly between both cargo holds. Ship

    performance can be drastically degraded if flown with an imbalanced cargo load.

    Please consult your Ghtroc Industries Class 720 Operators Manualunder Cargo

    Loading Procedures for more information.

    Escape Pod Access

    (port and starboard - port side shown, starboard side similar):

    Within each cargo hold, caution stripes on the floor indicate No Load

    areas to allow passengers and crew access to the escape pods. The escape

    pods are accessed from pull-down hatches in the ceiling equipped with fold-

    down ladders for accent into the pod.

    A loading lift is also located in this area for use with droids, or other passengers

    who can not climb a ladder. The escape lift is marked with caution stripes, and can lift

    1 metric ton in 2 seconds to the escape pod if the emergency mode is used. The lift

    has its own power supply and will function even if the ship's main power core is offline.

    Warning:Areas within the cargo hold marked with caution stipes should not

    have freight or equipment placed on them during flight. These areas are to be left

    clear for access to the ship's escape pod systems. Failure to comply with these

    directives can result in operator and passenger deaths. Please consult your

    Ghtroc Industries Class 720 Operators Manual under Escape Equipment for

    more information.

    Economy Berths

    (port and starboard - port side shown, starboard side similar):

    Located port aft or starboard aft of the ring corridor. These rooms

    contain 3 beds (1 normal, 2 bunk), and one tall dresser. These rooms are

    not frequently used for passengers. Spacers tend to use them for storage

    due to the noise and vibration encountered here. The single bed can fold

    up against the wall to make the room suitable to accommodate larger

    alien races that don't mind sleeping on the floor.

    Cargo Lift Room:

    Located aft of the ring corridor. This area houses the

    ships main cargo lift. The lift's outer sliding door is double

    sealed and can serve as a fully functioning airlock for space

    walks or pickup and delivery in a vacuum. Rated to safely lift

    4 metric tons, the Cargo Lift has access only to the lower

    deck and under the ship. The lift can fit containers or objects of a maximum size of

    2.24 meters (7ft 4in) wide, by 6 meters (19ft 8in) long, by 2.27 meters (7ft 5in) high.

    Note: Objects of maximum hight limits require specialized loading docks with

    recessed floors to load containers. If loading on a flat surface, the lift's max hight

    Main Engineering Room:

    Located aft of the cargo lift room at the very aft of the

    ship's tail. This compartment houses the ship's main

    hyperdrive, backup hyperdrive, main ion drives, main

    thrusters, aft hyperdrive booster modules, and inertial

    dampener. Floor grilles in this area allow for access

    beneath these systems for inspection and maintenance.The following standard equipment is installed in this

    Upper Deck Descriptions

    Unless otherwise noted, this deck has a maximum ceiling height of 2.29 meters (7ft

    6in) headroom in the cockpit, and docking arms. The rest of the upper deck is mostly

    crawlspaces with little more than 3' of headroom. The bulk of the 720's upper deck store

    the ship's fuel and consumables. Descriptions of its various rooms and compartments

    are listed below.

    Cockpit:

    Located in the " head". The cockpit is equipped with 4 control stations. The 2

    forward control stations can perform all ship functions; the 2 aft control stations can

    control: life support, docking, loading, shields, sensors, and communication systems.

    Weapon Control Rooms (Port and Starboard):

    Located behind the cockpit to either side of the ramp compartment, these curved

    rooms house the ship's fire controls and avionics systems. If you are wondering why

    these rooms seem so empty, its because they were designed for upgrades to

    weapon and avionic controls.

    Ramp Compartment:

    Located aft of the cockpit in the " neck". This ramp is fully sealed preventing de

    pressurization between decks. This upper ramp lowers to provide access to and from

    the central foyer in the deck below. This ramp allows astromech droids access to the

    cockpit. In the aft end of this compartment are the ship's main wiring trunks, the ramp

    control motor, and hydraulic pump.

    Life Support Compartments (Port and Starboard):

    Located in the " shoulders" to either side of the cockpit. These compartments holdthe ship's life support equipment and atmosphere recyclers. Life support

    consumables are stored here as well.

    Forward Fuel Compartments (Port and Starboard):

    Located to either side of the ramp compartment. These rooms house the ship's

    electrical system controls fuel cells, fuel pumps, weapon charging systems (port side),

    and consumables storage tanks. These rooms can be accessed from the ramp

    compartment or service panels in the floor. The power couplings that power the

    weapon charging systems on the port side have sister systems on the starboard side

    that are not used on the stock model. These couplings can be used for weapon

    upgrades that require more power.

    Upper Reactor Room:

    Located in the center of the ship in the domed " shell". This compartment partially

    extends to the deck below. It houses the ship's upper power core and power

    converters. This compartment can be accessed from 4 service panels in the floor.

    Central Fuel Compartments (Port and Starboard):

    Located above the ship's cargo holds on either side of the ship. These

    patterns.

    Although the original artwork provided us with the most information, it was only

    part of the story and only a top view. To learn more about this ship we would have to

    look at artwork from other artists and incorporate their interpretations into the design.

    The top view was originally drawn by John Paul Lona but most drawings of the

    Ghtroc 720would be drawn by Mike Vilardiwho would shine light on the landing gear,

    plus aft, and side details of the exterior thus bringing the ship into the third dimension.

    Turning Many Into One

    There are few images published

    by West End Games or Dark

    Horse Comics that fully collude

    with one another. It was decided to

    incorporate elements from all these

    images to produce an "averaged"

    exterior in which to base the

    deckplans.

    We also decided that the original

    image possesses the most commonfeatures when compared to the body

    of evidence, and would dominate the

    project. From there we worked our

    way down forming a hierarchy of the images for their value as references. Where

    details matched or did not interfere with others, they were incorporated and when

    details conflicted with older references, they were omitted and/or moved/adjusted to

    accommodate others.

    Note:Here we see the exhaust of sublight thrust on the Ghtroc 720while moving

    with its front maneuvering thrusters in the front fins.

    Nomenclature

    We noticed the Ghtroc 720

    looked similar to a sea turtle so we

    decided to refer to parts of the ship

    in terms of a sea turtle's body. Thus

    the following structures were

    assigned body part names to assist

    in describing the various structures

    during construction:

    Cockpit:Head and Neck

    Entry Ramp:ChinSensor Suite:Shoulders and

    Epaulets

    Maneuvering Thrusters:

    Forward Fins

    Hyperdrive coils:Armpit Gills

    Docking Arms /

    Escape Pod Launchers:Rear Fins or Legs

    Rear Ion Thrusters:Tail

    Power Core Dome:Shell

    http://deckplans.00sf.com/Ghtroc/720/Ghtroc_720.html 17

    Note:We make reference to all these part names on this deckplan page as well

    as other ships based on it.

    Building the Side View

    The next step was tackling the

    side view. This was a bit of a

    problem because there was no

    official image or schematic of the

    side view on a stock Ghtroc 720.The only official a side view

    available was of the Shroud

    Freighter(a heavily modified Ghtroc

    Freighter) flown by Luke Skywalker

    and seen in both The Last

    Command Sourcebookpage 134,

    and in The Thrawn Trilogy

    Sourcebook page 237. We

    proceeded by blending the images

    from Platt's Starport Guide page

    29 with images of the Shroud

    Freighter to establish the elliptical

    curve of the hull's cross-section and

    the shape the hull forms where it

    attaches itself to the front fins.

    Note:This is the first of the images that clearly demonstrate the Ghtroc 720has

    sublight thrusters in the rear tail section and not just in the front fins.

    We had noted the Shroud Freighterhad an upper and lower level in the schematic

    but were not sure if this applied to the stock model as well. While developing the side

    view we did notice that the Ghtroc 720 was very tall (even without the Shroud

    modifications). Our conclusion was the freighter had two decks and not one as it wasdepicted in the official deckplan in Platt's Smugglers Guidepage 40. Clearly the

    two sources conflicted with one another but in the end we realized the older source

    was correct. With the idea for the upper deck confirmed, we continued and

    incorporated the feature into the design.

    Exterior Refinements

    Some WEG drawings had

    epaulets on the ship's shoulders,

    and other images didn't. The

    majority did so they were added on

    the top view even though that

    particular reference image didn't

    have any. The epaulets give the

    leading edge of the shoulders a

    more aerodynamic profile. The 720

    epaulets can best seen on the image from Galaxy Guide 9 - Fragments From the

    Rimpage 15 and served as our primary reference for our model.

    Note: The drawing of the Merry Thrubidor is the second image that clearly

    demonstrates the Ghtroc 720has sublight thrusters in the rear tail section and not

    just in the front forward fins section.

    There are many contours and

    small access hatches in the various

    images of the 720 so we attempted

    to draw all of them on the hull.

    Except in cases when contours

    contradicted one another, in which

    case we went with the contours that

    appeared in the most incidences.

    Images of the Ghtroc 720landedwith landing gear extended are very

    rare and in this image we see one of

    the landing feet of the ship. This

    image was used as our primary landing gear reference for size shape and location on

    the project.

    Rounding Out the Exterior - Comic References

    Dark Horse Comics published

    a comic adaptation of the Thrawn

    Trilogy novels originally written by

    Timothy Zahn. Naturally we studied

    the last of these comics for within the

    The Last Command comics they

    also produced artwork for the

    Shroud Freighter (a heavily

    modified Ghtroc Freighter

    mentioned earlier) flown by Luke

    Skywalker.

    The artwork in the comic

    adaptation greatly differed from the

    artwork in the roleplaying game andbeing that the RPG artwork was

    older, more internally-consistent, and

    more numerous in volume, the comic

    references only served a very tiny

    role in this project.

    However the comics were not

    completely ignored. Where we did

    get use out of these images were in

    the landing gear and boarding ramp

    which were very similar to the older

    sources. Lastly we tried to use anyuseful minor details in areas where

    the older artwork was silent and

    where the comic references could

    enrich the overall aesthetic of the

    project.

    Note: The Shroud Freighter of

    the comics is a very radical design

    as compared to the West End Gamesartwork. However the image above clearly

    demonstrates the Ghtroc 720has sublight thrusters in the rear.

    Going inside - The Official Deckplan.

    West End Gamesdid produce

    an official deckplan for the Ghtroc

    720. The official deckplan was

    published around the same time we

    decided we needed a deckplan for

    this ship and when we looked at it,

    we decided to use it as a rough

    guide and would build somethingsignificantly better.

    We decided to retain some

    elements of this official deckplan

    which include:

    The general location of the

    crew/passenger quarters.

    The location of the cargo

    holds.

    Four-seat cockpit.

    Escape pods in the rear fins.

    There were also many elements

    of this deckplan we decided to

    change and correct including:

    Taking the third dimension into

    account and adding a

    complete upper deck detailing

    consumables storage, the

    cockpit, and docking arms.

    Increasing the utility of the

    docking arms by designing

    them to serve a duel functionof dock and escape pod launcher.

    Adding rooms for the landing gear so they had a place to retract into the ship..

    Fully detailing the lower deck and including all the engineering sections.

    Installing ion drives in both the front fins and tail (three locations total) as

    older source material indicated.

    Removed the lounge from the center of the ship and replaced it with the power

    core and ring corridor for safety.

    Added a speeder-sized cargo lift with access to both cargo holds to save on

    weight and room.

    Removed all stairs from the cargo holds for safety and increased cargo room.

    Added a ramp to access the cockpit in the upper deck as older sources

    indicated.

    Note: This is the third image that clearly demonstrates the Ghtroc 720 has

    sublight thrusters in the rear tail section and not just in the front fins. This image

    comes from the same sourcebook (Platt's Smugglers Guide) that incorrectly states

    the opposite in the deckplan descriptions and adjoining text.

    In the end we had developed a very different deckplan from the official version. It

    was our intent to honor the original but at the same time transform it and elevate it to a

    much higher level of detail and functionality. The Ghtroc 720viewed on this page is

    the outcome of that ongoing mission.
