The Hollywood-15 is the centre of the Macross-15 Fleet's entertainment, and the only ship of its kind in the fleet. It is here that all of the Fleet's entertainment, be it TV or Film, or even music, (a few music studio's can be found in Paramount Avenue,) that is not piped in via the Galaxy Network can be found.
The Hollywood-15 has no defence, and has to rely on the Uraga Class Carrier that is attached to it, and its Pin Point Barriers. Whilst this creates a great responsibility for the UNS Valhalla and her crew, it also provides a fantastic location for off duty hours.
Interior Design
The Hollywood-15 interior is split in to levels, however only the central, and largest level are for civilian. The other levels being control and engineering sections. The studio's are large and expansive, and seemingly plain on the exterior, yet differ greatly on the inside depending on their function and current use. The gem of the Hollywood-15 is Star Boulevard, where everything is loud and bright, and designed to captivate the viewer, and transport them to a fairytale world where celebrities are larger than life. Some in fact are. As a number of full size zentraedi can be found in productions on the ship. Half a dozen micronisation chambers are kept on board the ship for their use.
Star Boulevard : The film and tv screen stars heartland. Star Boulevard is where all of the best restaurants, bars, clubs, and designer boutiques can be found. The Boulevard is, like the film and television industry within the fleet, an almost 24 hour a day economy. Few stores close in this section of the vessel as they must cater to the round the clock requirements of the studio's found in the avenues.
Ealing Avenue : Close to Star Boulevard and Paramount Avenue, Ealing Avenue is the heart of the film industry, with several film studio lots and a number of smaller offices for casting, actor/actress, and studio agents. It also has the largest and best Hotel, so as to permit acting staff close proximity to the studio's.
Paramount Avenue : Like Ealing Avenue, Paramount Avenue is close to Star Boulevard, but focuses primarily on tv studio's providing quality entertainment for the Macross-15 Fleet. It is also home to a studio tour that encompasses almost all of the TV and Film studio's found within the Hollywood-15. A number of music studio's can also be found here, catering for the recording artists of the Fleet.
Mann Street : A small street a short distance from Star Boulevard, Mann Street is the heart of the Theatre district of the Hollywood-15, and features a number of rehearsal studio's ranging in size from the small, for tv sitcom's, to the large, capable of permitting macron-scale zentraedi to rehease.
Area's/Districts of Rivieria-15
Ealing : The heart of the industry. This is where all of the studio's are. It is also where Star Boulevard can be found.
Downtown : The true heart of the behind the scenes business of entertainment. A large sprawling area given over to those parts of the ship not taken up by film studio's. Downtown consists of homes, small businesses associated with the film and tv industry, (special effects, costume designers, etc,) and the Government and civilian business buildings.
Shuttle Port : Unlike any other in the Fleet. The shuttle port, and docking bay section of the Hollywood-15 is like another world. Expensively decorated to give amazing backdrops for photo opportunities when stars leave and arrive onboard the Hollywood-15, its also adorned with a variety of cafe's, restaurants, and stores. A little of everything so the discerning celebrity to stock up on just about anything before they leave the Fleet.
