Welcome to the most bizarre and horrible place in space.
The Harvester of Sorrow
Simply put the Harvester is a huge mobile object in space. The common term for such a thing is a Space Hulk. Space hulks are large objects created in warp Space by accident. The eddies and currents in warp space will bring stray objects in it together. In most cases these objects are ships, metallic debris and other junk found in the warp.
Since most of these objects are ships that malfunctioned of other wise got lost in warp space they have recognizable structures in them. The Harvester of Sorrow is no exception. In fact the Harvester (for short) is a huge collection of such things and posses multiple structure, some complete with power systems and sections to support life.
Space Hulks also collect the semi living in their travels in the warp. One can expect to find monsters, daemons and even vermin of the mundane sort on board. In this the Harvest is worse than normal. It has been fairly described as a ships graveyard of space in addition to being haunted by all sorts of ill beings. Most of The Harvester has been repaired or at least sealed against space. The beasts, ghosts and other creatures haven't been dealt with.
The Harvester itself is an immense structure. It's is irregular and one can only distinguish 'front' from 'back' because one side has disproportionatly more working thrusters than the others. Externally it is similar in size to the Death Star of star wars, although for oblong than round. It's useable interior is similar to urban sections of Los Angeles or New York. In addition are some areas that are open to space, vast carog hold and impassible junked areas.
Interior features.
Corridors. - Miles of corridors span the vast reaches. Some are clean and well kept. Most however are rough and have expose mechanical bit. The lighting and quality of atmosphere can be questionable even in the best of areas.
The Power Plant - While the Harvester has hundreds of small powers systems of varying quality and use. One main power plant exist near the 'aft' portion of the ship. It is huge and once powered some sort fo space station. Now it serves the Harvester.
Docking bays - Several docking bays are also scattered about the ship. Some of them even work and have space craft in them. There area a few that don't seem to open to space 'here' but to space 'somewhere else'.
The Arboretum - One of a few large garden like areas. The main one actually has a small city in it. No one knows why. These arboretums are full of assorted plant life and are where most of the food and vermin come from on the ship.
The Temple - This chapel to the Dark Gods is vast and dangerous. The structure is highly magical and haunted beyond belief. Attempts to destroy the structure will simply make it 'move' to some other part of the ship and bring a terrible curse on the defiler.
The Lab - This place is a laboratory unlike most that any one has seen. It is a vast, disorganized room suitable for experiments, construction and testing of scientific and Arcane matters. One might even find a test going on at any time.
Other Rooms - One can also find hotel like rooms, dining areas, control areas (never The Control Room of course), storage rooms you name it. There are even a few pools, recreation areas and what not (they are all favored by verminous predators though). Most any room found in any kind of space ship is likely to be here, some rooms unlikely to be found in a ship are here too (no Holodeck though, dream on).
