The Stork - CT-73 Civilian Advanced Train

Transport Wing:

The Main Trader Wing. The most important vessels in the fleet. The Transport Fleet mainly consists of armored CT-73 Civilian Advanced Train Advanced Trains. These are always assisted by Escorts for safety. The Transports are top priority in the Fleet, and must be kept safe at all times.

Pushing the upper envelopes of contemporary engineering, the grandest configuration of the vulnerable "Train" class vessel plays deft host to a chain of incredible mass, threading the fortunes of companies between asteroids and firefights alike with a finesse not easily believed until seen. While weight must be spread somewhat uneconomically to maintain structural integrity, hence the question additional pods, the relative compact nature of the ship belies the sheer tonnage she hauls. As such the vessel is a common sight across the houses, used by all.
