MS-UTL23b Faerie Class Flitter
Manufacturer: Maas Corporation
Length: 5m
Mass: 4t
Crew: : 1
Maneuverability: Medium
Offensive Systems:
None
Defensive Systems:
None
Drive Systems:
Micro Thrust Array
The Faerie class flitter is a tiny one man pod designed for
maintenance inspection and mining support roles. It has two fully
articulated Waldo arms that enable the pilot to easily manipulate tools
and other equipment from the safety of the flitter's cockpit. In their
mining support role flitters are often paired up with Frog class light
miners.
MS-UTL45g Frog Class Light Miner
Manufacturer: NSO Laplace
Length: 17.5m
Mass: 35t
Crew: 1
Maneuverability: Medium
Offensive Systems:
Mining Beam
Mining charge launcher
Defensive Systems:
None
Drive Systems:
Dual Vectored Thrust Pods
Dual vectored thrust pods give the Frog class light miner the
superb handling and responsiveness that's required for asteroid mining
operations. Its Waldo arms have integrated drills for easier mining. A
mining beam and mining charge deployer aid in its mining role, but
additionally provide a basic method of self-defense. Often paired up
with Faerie class flitters, Frog class miners are a familiar sight
around asteroid mines.
VS-GS02 Jupiter Class Gas Miner
Manufacturer: Von Schelling Industries
Length: 45m
Mass: 680t
Crew: 5 + 2
Maneuverability: Low
Offensive Systems:
Light PBC Cannon
Defensive Systems:
LDA ( Front )
Drive Systems:
Standard Thrust Array
LDS Class 1
Capsule Drive
Designed to skim the upper atmosphere of gas giants, the Jupiter
class gas miner is used to mine the rare gasses in their upper
atmospheres. The Jupiter class is responsible for creating a whole new
sport - planet diving, where the craft is dived into the planets
atmosphere, then skipped off the outer layer, back into space. Second
hand models of the Jupiter class have since become widely sought after
by rich teenagers. Von Schelling is considering marketing a sports
variant of the Jupiter class to be sold specifically for planet diving.
NSO-ST1024n Planetoid Class LOR Platform
Manufacturer: NSO Laplace
Length: 2.7km
Mass: 8,160,000t
Crew: 20 + 6
Maneuverability: Very Low
Offensive Systems:
None
Defensive Systems:
None
Drive Systems:
Heavy Thrust Array
LDS Class 1
Larger than even the mighty megatransporter, and more of a
mobile station than a ship, the Planetoid class LOR ( Low Orbit
Recovery ) platform is specifically designed to help build, repair,
maintain and transport space station modules.
MS-UTL66e Anderson Class SNRV
Manufacturer: Maas Corporation
Length: 182m
Mass: 288,290t
Crew: 2 + 1
Maneuverability: Very Low
Offensive Systems:
None
Defensive Systems:
None
Drive Systems:
Standard Thrust Array
LDS Class 1
Capsule Drive
Often described as the 'white van' of space, the SNRV is a
common sight. Originally designed for search and recovery operations (
hence the designation SNRV), many variants are now in service,
including a six cargo pod transporter version.
MS-UTL98d Yellowstone Class Utility Truck
Manufacturer: Maas Corporation
Length: 38m
Mass: 547t
Crew: 6 + 2
Maneuverability: Medium
Offensive Systems:
2 x Light PBC Cannon
Defensive Systems:
None
Drive Systems:
Standard Thrust Array
LDS Class 1
Capsule Drive
A versatile design, the Yellowstone class truck is often used as
a mobile maintenance platform, and its extensibility has spawned
several different variants, including police prisoner transports, and
mining support vessels. It comes as standard with two light PBC guns
for meteorite defense. It's also been reported that some dissident
groups are bolting on missile launchers, effectively turning the ship
into a missile boat.
