BACK TO TOP
The academy deck of Dragonfly houses the ship's main information and learning areas, as well as a number of community venues and social areas. The area accomodates residents, passengers, and students alike, who may browse at their leisure or enroll in an academy's group study plan, which is not entirely unlike many public school systems on Earth. Given the Dragonfly's high capacity to stay aloft for exceptionally long periods of time, a student could live on the ship from childhood to graduation without seeing the ground close up; the true airborne scholar.
Classroom
The Classroom is the Academy deck's main gathering area for learning, teaching, community, discussion, and whatnot. The area can be used to teach, to have a discussion about something, or as a clan meeting center. The classroom can be specially reserved for up to an hour's privacy by appointment, with a three days' advance warning.
Media Center
The Media Center serves as a secondary community center complete with a computerized presentation set, a private study area, a virtual library set complete with holoprojected interface synchronized with Dragonfly's AI system, and internet access by way of the ship's largest collection of MB Icecube computers.
Gymnasium
The Gymnasium, whilst being the ship's fitness center, can double in and of itself as an educational venue, where passengers and residents may learn about health and fitness. The gym also contains exercise equipment and gear, as well as a game room and a TV with three channels, one for outside ship news.
Lounge
The Academy Lounge serves as a hangout venue for recreational activities such as board games, card games, and any kind of noisy chat that the commons area seen below might not take too kindly. Eating and drinking are also permitted in here.
Commons
The academy area's commons area, where students may gather and discuss, chat, hang out, or relax. Though drinking and eating are not generally permitted, the rule is not strictly enforced.
Office Ward
The office ward is where aspiring students go to enroll in long-term initiatives and studies, and other academic groups. Here is also where reservations for the classroom for purposes of community or learning may be arranged or managed.
The area also houses a private testing ward which can also be used as a private study area for advanced
students schooling in more obscure or difficult branches of study.
