Colony ships featured a trilateral symmetric design, with three sets of engine nozzles protruding at an angle from the midpoint of the fuselage, and three shuttle craft attached on the lower half above a fourth, central set of engine nozzles. The shuttles were responsible for transporting the colonists and supplies from the orbiting ship down to the surface of the destination world. In between the shuttles were three mounts that held up to thirty cargo containers each; in addition to carrying vital supplies for the colonization expedition, the containers would double as temporary surface shelters until permanent structures could be built.<ref name="Destiny"/><ref name="CosRideAlong">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcdw3LQAsCg&feature=youtu.be '''Ride Along - Cosmodrome''' - ''Bungie Commentary'']</ref> While awaiting launch, colony ships stood vertically and were supported by three large struts that possibly served as landing gear.<ref name="Destiny"/>
