Crawler Bays
Command Bay
This area of your Union Crawler is where the core of the crew that controls your Union Crawler resides. It is also designed for surveying and planning out forays into the wasteland. It allows you to scan the area within the Campaign Map and get a simple holomap of the environment and any key points of interest.
Once per Downtime, before you set out into the wasteland, you may ask the Mediator a number of questions equal to the Tech Level of your Union Crawler about the area of the Region Map you are in, and they will answer you truthfully.
If the Command Bay is damaged your Union Crawler can no longer move, and its scanning and map functions no longer work. You are in the dark when it comes to conducting missions outside of the immediate area.

Mech Bay
Within this area, each Pilot on the Union Crawler gets access to their own Mech Bay, which allows them to have one field ready Mech active. This active Mech may be of any Tech Level. Other Mechs can be stored in the Storage bay. Any Mech installed into a Mech Bay fully restores all of its Structure Points and Energy Points over the Downtime period of one week, and reduces its Heat to 0.
The Tech Level of the Union Crawler determines what Mech Chassis, Systems, and Modules it can repair during Downtime.
A damaged Mech Chassis as well as any damaged Systems or Modules are repaired to Intact Condition during Downtime as long as they are of an equal to or lower Tech Level than the Union Crawler. For example, a damaged Tech 2 Blue Laser System could be repaired in a Tech 2 or 3 Union Crawler, but could not be repaired in a Tech 1 Union Crawler.
You may choose to repair anything that cannot be repaired in this way by spending an amount of Scrap equal to half its Salvage Value of it's Tech Level or higher. For example, if your Crawler is Tech 3 and you are repairing a Damaged Colossus Chassis which is a Tech 4 Chassis with a Salvage Value of 16, you must spend 8× Tech 4 Scrap to repair it to an Intact Condition.
You may further use your Mech Bay to install or remove any number of Systems or Modules on your Mech that you have access to.
If the Mech Bay becomes damaged, your Mechs can no longer restore SP and EP during Downtime. Their Chassis as well as any Systems or Modules will not be repaired if they are damaged, and you will have to make any System or Module modifications manually.

Storage Bay
All Mech Chassis, Systems, Modules, and Scrap not in active use are stored within the Storage Bay. This pool is accessible to all Pilots in the Union Crawler. For game purposes, the Storage Bay has an unlimited amount of storage and you do not need to track this. Pilots may also store complete, undamaged Mechs that they have built or salvaged here, keeping them as spare until they bring them out when they need them for a salvage run.
If the Storage Bay becomes damaged, half of the Mech Chassis, Systems, and Modules stored within it are damaged and half of the Scrap within it is destroyed. Determine this randomly. In addition, you cannot store anything else within it until it is repaired.

Armament Bay
The main defensive Weapons System of the Union Crawler is mounted here. Your Union Crawler may mount any single Weapons System of the Tech Level of the Crawler that you have access to. As your Union Crawler upgrades, you may replace this Weapons System with another Weapons System of your choice as long as it is of the same Tech Level or lower of the Union Crawler.
If the Armament Bay becomes damaged, the Union Crawler cannot use any of its Weapons Systems.

Crafting Bay
A Crafting Bay allows you to craft any Mech Chassis, System, or Module of the Tech Level of your Union Crawler or lower. For example, if you have a Tech 2 Union Crawler you may craft Tech 1 and 2 Mech Chassis, Systems, and Modules within its Crafting Bay.
To craft a Mech Chassis, System, or Module you must spend an amount of Scrap equal to its Salvage Value. This Scrap must be of a Tech Level equal to or higher than the Tech Level of the Mech Chassis, System, or Module. For example, to craft a Tech 2 Blue Mining Laser System which has a Salvage Value of 5 you would need 5 Tech 2 Scrap. All Mech Chassis, Systems, and Modules in the Salvage Union Core Book are assumed available to Pilots who wish to craft them.
Other Mech Chassis, Systems, and Modules may exist in the wasteland to be crafted. The Mediator may choose to allow additional things to be crafted of their own or the players' design, or decide that the Pilots must find these things in the wastelands to have them available to craft. The Mediator may also restrict access to anything as they see fit.
If the Crafting Bay becomes damaged, you can no longer craft anything.

In addition, all Pilot Equipment not in active use may be stored here. For game purposes, The Armoury can store an unlimited amount of Pilot Equipment you acquire or find in the wastelands.

Cantina
Your Cantina is the social hub of your Union Crawler. It is where everybody on board comes to eat, drink, and socialise. Rumours fly easily around the cantina and it is a great place to pick up information about the wastelands. It is also where the majority of food and drink on the Union Crawler is produced and stored and is the location of all your food and water purifiers.
Once during Downtime each Pilot may ask around your Cantina for rumours. The Mediator will tell you a rumour that is circulating around the Cantina. Alternatively, you may ask one question and will get a somewhat vague answer about it from the Cantina.
If the Cantina becomes damaged, you no longer have food and water purifiers and your food and water supply is spoiled. The people on your Union Crawler will die of starvation and dehydration within four weeks if it is not repaired. In addition, you can no longer ask around for rumours.
