To minimize the risk of loss of life during interstellar travel, the federal government requires that smaller dropship vessels attach themselves to larger motherships that will provide life support and supplies for the crew and passengers of the smaller vessels during long journeys. These larger vessels will have artificial gravity decks which include an internal rotating sections capable of accommodating hundreds of passengers at once, as well as with strengthened hulls to protect against stellar radiation and micrometeorites.
