Plague Module Containment Vault
Five hundred twelve identical containment modules housed within a massive, purpose-built titanium alloy containment vault constructed on Cargo Deck Five of the USS Enterprise. Each gleaming, coffin-sized capsule of reinforced duranium stands sealed within this impenetrable fortress, custom-engineered with independent life-support grids and triple-redundant containment fields. The vault's titanium alloy cells arranged in precise blocks create an ominous honeycomb architecture, with electron-welded seams providing maximum biological containment for the crystalline plague vaccines within. Each unit rests within both the vault's structure and the modular containment systems, bearing the weight of universal plague containment.
