The Gun Support deck is the deck below the main (open deck). The forward area includes a corridor to stairs going up to the thorax ballista, then the stairs access. The 3 towers are closed off from access to the rest of the deck. The flank areas include barracks for deck hands, 50 beds each - hotbunking allows 3 each 8 hour shifts to share the bed, with 3 secure lockers beneath each bed. So 150 deckhands share these 50 beds. In the aft section is the ship's 'farms', 2 chambers contain water-filled stone tanks where shellfish are fed and harvested. 2 larger chambers contain edible mushroom farms. Between them are 2 sets of barracks, each with 63 beds, so 126 total, and hotbunked for 378 laborers. All barracks house the lowest ranking members of the house.
