			The ship of the [[Pioneers mission\|Pioneers mission]] carries its crew from Earth to [[Calima\|Calima]]. During the voyage it is shaped between a sphere and an ellipse, made of a great number of identical cubic modules, the cubicles, joined around a hollow centre.

	=== In the ~~book~~'s ~~words~~ ===		=== Description ===
	* ''«A three-dimensional animation showed the spherical shape of the ship, made up of a great number of cubicles like the one he was in now.~~»''~~{{Source\|Descent\|Part 1}}		At the centre is the main transformer and reactor, which also generates the ship's electromagnetic field. A rotating belt of cubicles, the gravity ring, provides gravity during the vigils, and cabins are moved into it as each section wakes. Two cosmic radiation collector satellites are built into the structure, and a nanomesh around the whole ship turns micro-impacts into energy, absorbs hydrogen and protects it.
	* ''«During the tour he met several members of his section already awakened and crew from section 8, the previous shift, heading towards their cabin blocks to return to the virtual world; Omega was in charge of gradually alternating the activities of the 100000 people in each of the 10 sections with the maximum efficiency.~~»''~~{{Source\|Descent\|Part 1}}
	* ''«The ship had suffered an accident while entering orbit around the planet and had fallen down to its surface.~~»''~~{{Source\|Descent\|Part 2}}		The cubicles have different uses: cabins of stacked recreation tanks, where the crew sleep and recreate; recreation cubicles, with a dining room on top and nine platforms of galleries below; work cubicles with operating armchairs; arbitration cubicles for the assemblies; hydroponic cubicles and others. Each can move on its own thrusters.
