->The old rules of aerospace cease to be when there is less "aero" and more "space". Craft built for the purpose of traveling, transporting, and fighting in space have greater allowance for design versatility when friction and drag are no longer an issue; materials can be more dense and designs can be more utilitarian.

->The ''Donnager'' was ugly.\\
Holden had seen pictures and videos of the old oceangoing navies of Earth, and even in the age of steel, there had always been something beautiful about them. Long and sleek, they had the appearance of something leaning into the wind, a creature barely held on the leash. The ''Donnager'' had none of that. Like all long-flight spacecraft, it was built in the "office tower" configuration: each deck one floor of the building, ladders or elevators running down the axis. Constant thrust took the place of gravity.\\
But the ''Donnager'' actually ''looked'' like an office building on its side. Square and blocky, with small bulbous projections in seemingly random places. At nearly five hundred meters long, it was the size of a 130-story building. Alex had said it was 250,000 tons dry weight, and it looked heavier. Holden reflected, not for the first time, on how much of the human sense of aesthetics had been formed in a time when sleek objects cut through the air. The ''Donnager'' would never move through anything thicker than interstellar gas, so curves and angles were a waste of space. The result was ugly.\\
It was also intimidating.

->The Federation's capital ships are brutal, practical war machines inside and out. Airtight doors split the interior into many separate compartments. Grab-handles abound, as do access panels and all the paraphernalia of a military vessel. There would be no mistaking a Federal ship's interior with an [[CrystalSpiresAndTogas Imperial]] one.
