The Beta Class include three escape pods each which can support up to 4 life forms (12 in total) and will, upon ejection from the ship, proceed directly towards the nearest habitable landing position. This could be a mining station in the asteroid belt, a habitable planet among the inner planets or a moon harvesting station among the outer planets. Those aboard the escape pod have no control over which location they are taken to and the landing is random once they arrive at their destination.
