Comic book page modeled after those vehicle cross-sections from Star Wars guides. It's a bullet-shaped grey metal ship with three circular portholes on each side. We see the inside, with three levels. We see a control deck, a living area, an engine room, landing gear with treaded wheels, etc. The Cosmos The fourth iteration of the ship belonging to the mysterious French scientist Doctor Oméga and used throughout the mid-to-late 1930s. The original ship was built in 1906 for an exploratory voyage to the planet Mars, where it was destroyed and rebuilt for a return trip. The second Cosmos was used throughout the 1920s and early 30s, until the Doctor, hired by France's Committee for Information and Defence (C.I.D.) by Léo Saint-Clair, AKA The Nyctalope, decommissioned it and built its successor. The Mark IV was designed on similar principles, but larger and more robust – more useful for transporting a team and being utilized for constant adventuring. He retained this ship after leaving the team in 1935 over irreconcilable differences with Saint-Clair. There are lines pointing to aspects of the interior with technical specs, including, "Outer shell made of Repulsite, a metal invented by Doctor Oméga that repulses matter, energy, and space itself. Due to the Doctor's belief in the sanctity of sapient life, the Cosmos is unarmed. However, it is far from defenceless, as the Repulsite casing makes it impervious to most damage." "Inner layer of Stellite, another invention of the Doctor's (and one conflated with and used interchangeably with Repulsite in his early biographies) that shields against the harmful cosmic rays encountered in space." "Via a combination of materials and forces employed, the Cosmos is capable of rapid acceleration – reaching speeds for 800 km per second and more in the aether of space"
