Is is not a big secret that our Gallia is changing and not the all of it were accepted well of the people. For example, after the Confederacy came to power it has opened our borders to former enemies of our people and already has "leased" Versailles station, the former residence of DeFrance family in the very heart of Gallia to such interstellar corporation of Sirius as Interspace Commerce.

MAE is keen on improving the economic situation in Gallia without giving foreigners our territories but instead building new facilities within Gallia to create jobs and increase goods output to sell to foreigners and increase the capital influx from abroad. To that end, we are developing Kerguelen fabrication facility in Languedoc. With the Kerguelen facility capacity increase, our Logistics Division has faced an issue of an inefficient cargo capacity of ships we use. As the Chief Logistics Officer, I decided that we require to have at least one heavy transport to compensate losses we were made because of an inefficient cargo of "Taureau"-class Armored transports. Moreover, the corporation needs a logistics ship which can be used with or without escort and be capable to transport heavy cargo like ship parts, alloys or ores for further smelting. Thus our choice befell upon "Vache"-class Train as the most optimal for our needs.

"La Grosse Dame" Train

"La Grosse Dame" - a humorous name for the first "Vache"-class train in our logistics fleet. For its construction, we have been leased one of Fourchambault shipyard's drydocks for the duration of one week. During this time, we are to construct the ship itself, procure or construct engines, a heavy armour upgrade, defence systems and a countermeasure dropper. All electronic systems, such as the navigation system and communication array are to be calibrated and ready to function in any conditions, regardless of the situation.

Moreover, CRO Raza has mentioned that our expeditionary corp within R&D Division needs a more autonomous ship for their tasks. They have used a "Corvo"-class Explorer but our native "Lucullus"-class liner should be exactly what Vardan and his people needs. The facilities on it are ideal for long term scientific expeditions because there is more than adequate space on the passenger decks for scientific equipment, and the ship's substantial life support capabilities are designed for large crews so that smaller scientific teams like ours could use the vessel do not require frequent resupply. From all available for us, this is the best ship we could ever get in our research fleet.

"Becquerel" Research Liner

"Becquerel" - that was the name of Dr Raza's "Corvo" Explorer and will be a name for our "Lucullus". For the construction of it, we have leased the same drydock of Fourchambault shipyard but for two weeks. During this period we are to build a specialized ship for following primary tasks: long-range expeditions, exploration and research labour in conditions of space and low or zero gravitation.

It is not a big secret that even a colonized space is full of various dangers, sometimes even more deadly than the wild nor uncharted space ones. Our Engineering divisions in cooperation with our fabrication division have crafted a Capital Armor VIII grade which increases the durability of the hull but decreases the size of its cargo capacity.

"Becquerel" is going to be equipped with the most advanced scanner available on the civilian market nowadays - the Jintsuriki scanner made by Kishiro Technologies. This scanner can provide the vessel with an incredible detection range of 16K but to provide such a wide span and optimize equipment for civilian vessels the developers have sacrificed a scanning range and it is amounting just a 2K.

The part of living quarters is going to be used to increase the size of sections more important for research and exploration tasks: additional laboratories, a large medical bay with separated isolator which can be used in the cause of possible contamination after the contact with exoplanet biosphere. Observation deck became an observatory where the exploration team can do cartography and explore the stellar object from a far distance.

Not to say about the engine. The liner is going to get enhanced engines which provides durability during the maneuvres. The system itself will use Promethene as fuel but it can use Rheinland MOX or Kusari H-Fuel as well.
