The map takes place inside the ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]'', like its predecessor. Outside of the map, the player can see a fleet of {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}s and {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s, all heading slowly for an unknown gas giant. On the opposite side of the map, another planet or a moon of the gas giant can be easily made out. A distant star illuminates the planets and a massive orange nebula surrounds the Sun.

The interior of the ship is built off of the same "blue prints" as [[Midship]] was. The only physical difference is that doorways have been added for aesthetic reasons. The interior is typical of [[Covenant]] design, with dark pink walls and surfaces as well as gray colored floors and walkways.
