The small size of a ''Zanar''-pattern cruiser means that they have minimal crew facilities - including a total lack of permanent crew quarters. Instead, ''Zanar''-pattern ships are intended to rotate fresh crew members aboard between missions. They are crewed by a single [[Superior]] who holds the title of [[Shipmaster]], and eight [[Menial]]s. They additionally typically hold no on-board troop complement due to their intended function as policing vessels.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet72}}

The ''Zanar'' is fitted with a [[hangar bay]] capable of hosting at least a handful of [[Phantom]] dropships or other aircraft, alongside an escape pod bay stocking {{Pattern|Gloto'kas|Assault Carapace|}} and {{Pattern|Gloto'kef|Assault Carapace}}s. Some ships used by the Covenant's remnants in the post-war era, such as ''[[Panom's Canticle]]'', have additionally demonstrated the capability to host a small on-board troop complement - likely a result of the cruiser's converted use as a mainline warship.{{Ref/SpOps|Memento Mori|Everything Has Gone Wrong}}{{Ref/Reuse|Umbrage}}{{Ref/Reuse|WPUmbrage}}
