Intent: To go asteroid mining, rare materials prospecting, and salvaging. For fun. Also, to provide a vehicle suitable for mining, considering people are always going to be going after cortosis, beskar, phrik, stygium, and the other materials whose dev threads generally require a mining expedition.
Development Thread: No
Manufacturer: Koensayr
Model: Orzu-class Tug
Affiliation: Silk Holdings, independent
Modularity: No
Production: Minor
Material: Durasteel hull, glasteel viewports.
Description: The Koensayr Orzu-class tug is an old favorite of the former salvager and tramp freighter pilot who owns one of the most powerful corporations in the Outer Rim. When it came to outfitting his more far-flung assets with ships he trusted, then, he bought the Orzu in bulk and modified it for the use or purchase of Silk Holdings employees. Seeing as Silk Holdings explorers, prospectors, traders and agents visit the most distant corners of the galaxy and the Rishi Maze, these vessels turn up secondhand just about anywhere. With paired plasma-jets, tractor/pressor beam assemblies, and plasmatic cutting torches, a Jo'henry-class can chew its way through an asteroid significantly faster than the competition.
