Parliament class starship (ST Lower Decks ep5's USS Vancouver)

Something I just noticed - on the MSD image, blurry as it is, it looks like the entire forward half of decks 7 & 8 are nothing but a big pack of R2 droids. I know there's a long history of including one as a joke in them since the original TNG display if not earlier, but wow. I guess the Vancouver really is specialized for engineering missions! That or they needed to call in some help with experience in

Is it really a spoiler if it's in the pre-credits narration?

the care and feeding of the doom beam and/or turning a small moon into an asteroid field.
