This design is classed as a Commercial Vessel for maintenance purposes
Recognizing the vulnerability of Earth command -and unwilling to accept nuclear impacts in its defence plan - Solar Command constructed the Olympian:  a largely self-contained star city designed to be the hub of Solar military activity.  The Olympian alters its path randomly within the orbit of Mars, and is defended by the greatest concentration of military power other than Earth itself.  Though dwarfed by modern orbital cities, it is still considered one of the wonders of the Trans-Newtonian age.   Approximately 10,000 support staff, 2,000 crew and 3,000 military personnel live there full- or part-time. 

I use a pair of these vessels on permanent Task Force Training duty.  The task group moves slowly and the recreation facilities eliminate crew requirements, enabling short-range ships to be effectively trained.

Important note: Owing to a bug, recreational ships need to be used in pairs.
