The Inspiration has forty-two decks. The Inspiration's exterior shell is made up of layers which afford structural and atmospheric integrity for the spaceframe, integral waveguides and field conductive members for the structural integrity field, and pathways for other utilities such as deflector grids, as well as resistance to radiation and thermal energy. The exterior substrate is made up of interlaced microfoam duranium filaments. These are gammawelded into a series of contiguous composite segments that are 4.7 cm thick and are typically tow meters wide. The substrate segments are electron bonded to three reinforcing layers of 1.2 cm biaxially stressed tritanium fabric, which afford added torsion strength.
The outermost layer of the hull is composed of a 1.6 cm sheet of AGP ablative ceramic fabric chemically bonded onto a substrate of 0.15 cm tritanium foil. This material is formed into segments of approximately 3.7 meters squared and is attached to the radiation attenuation layer by a series of duranium fasteners, which allows for replacement of individual segments as necessary.
