A raised platform in the center of the spacious room ringed with holographic controls is the Combat Information Center, or CIC, of the Control Room. These controls are most likely for fire control, navigation, sensors, ship diagnostics, internal security monitors, etc. In front of the command center is a large holographic "banner" which is used for navigation purposes. The crew in the control room usually consists of a [[Sangheili]] or [[Jiralhanae]] [[Ship Master]] who stands on the central platform and is in charge of giving orders and commanding his vessel, accompanied by, in most cases, Sangheili Zealots, or high-ranking captain Jiralhanae that patrol the lower level of the control room, who are responsible for maintaining the security of the ship. | ||

There are at least four hangar bays aboard the ''CCS'' classification - two to starboard and two to port side. They are each three-tiered, with a large amount of space between the floors and ceilings of each level. Each bay contains various vehicles, such as [[Type-25 Troop Carrier|''Spirit''-class dropships]], on the bottom floor, with a pillar-like platform used for dismounting passengers rising up and connecting to the second level. Covenant troops are arrayed upon the second and third floors, with multiple stationary plasma shields and [[Type-26 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun|Shade]] infantry plasma turrets.<ref name="Truth and Reconciliation"/> | There are at least four hangar bays aboard the a vessel of ''CCS'' classification - two to starboard and two to port side.

A [[Shuttle bay door|plasma magnetic containment field]] operates at the mouth of the hangars, retaining atmosphere while in space transit. It denies the movement of all forms of matter attempting to enter or leave the shuttle bays. | A [[Shuttle bay door|plasma magnetic containment field]] operates at the mouth of the hangars, retaining atmosphere while in space transit.
