Editing FA-2289 Cloudship (section)

== Functions ==
FA-2289 is a multipurpose, self contained, self supported vessel. It is powered by six 40,000 RPM plasma engines that have been designed to run quietly. These engines cannot be heard by the human ear even while all six engines are at full power.

There are several solar arrays that provide power to specific modules on the vessel. As well as smaller plasma engines that are redundant power sources and are primarily used for maintaining life support systems across the ship. There are several smoke/cloud machines that constantly provide additional cloud cover, further obscuring the ship from view. The oval shaped, modular design of the vessel compartments further disguise the ship from detection from radar and other advanced tracking systems.

=== Personnel ===
At any given time, the FA-2289 houses 400 people. An additional 75 are permanently assigned to the ship and maintain the critical ship systems. The 75 permanent staff members have some of the highest clearance levels in the Agency as the FA-2289 has many top-secret, extremely classified technologies in use.

The FA-2289 supports 4 containment teams at a time and a reserve containment unit if needed. These teams can deploy anywhere in the world from the vessel. A research wing houses 12 research specialists who run experiments and high altitude studies in the science module of the ship.

=== Deployment  Vessels ===
Eight FA-92 Hybrid fighters are also available for use in the ships hangar. This modular hanger can be used for storage of many research vessels and serves as in flight refueling station for any Agency aircraft in need. The hangar sits above the workshops and living modules therefore maintaining the stealth capabilities of the ship.

Air to ground teams are also stationed on the FA-2289 as a way to maintain first strike capabilities where SCPs are considered. The Agency wants the ability to respond to anything and everything within a ten minute window, and be able to do that anywhere in the world.
