Description
A broad cargo hull surrounds reinforced holds for dense industrial materials, sealed containers, machinery, and government consignments. Tractor-beam handling equipment and standardized docking interfaces permit direct transfer to stations and construction vessels. The barge carries shields and a hyperdrive for independent convoy movement but depends upon escorts in threatened space.
