Decks, locks and access aboard RAOLAX

The constitution of RAOLAX is physical. It is built from decks, locks, doors, badges, access corridors, silent permissions and systems that decide who can move.

The command layer is close to navigation, jump preparation, route authority and restricted decisions. Upper decks hold private cabins, service control, strategic passengers and protected rooms. Passenger decks contain visible registry life: cabins, berths, medical access, dining, observation spaces and monitored commons.

Lower systems

Below that are service decks, cryo systems, cargo holds, maintenance passages, security blocks and compartments where people stop being guests. A lower-deck placement can still be a legal ticket. It can also be work, punishment, concealment or storage.

This matters for characters. A bridge-adjacent specialist and a cryo-sleeper may both be aboard RAOLAX, but they begin from different kinds of fear. One knows too much. One may wake up with no control over what happened while they were asleep.
