Capacity Units (R211A)
All available space on a starship and on other vehicles is measured in Capacity Units (CUs). Most people and materials
require CUs for storage and transport, given in the description of the item (see R236 for reference). Unless otherwise
restricted, any type of space can be used for any type of material. For example, you could have people in the Cargo Hold,
weapons in the Engineering space, extra Fuel Units in the Crew Quarters, etc. if you desired. Due to the possibility of
searches, theft, and damage it is useful to record what is being carried where.
Each person uses 1 CU of space, and each utility suit also uses 1 CU. A Person may carry (or drag) 2 CUs, not counting the
utility suit he or she wears — this allows a person to take a disabled individual to safety when wearing suits.
