Description: Very boxy in appearance, the Oxen-class bulk freighter is among the largest cargo ships in the galaxy that isn't one-of-a-kind. It became clear that producing warships of ever-increasing sizes required the flow of supplies to increase accordingly. For this reason, most operators willing to operate an Oxen will be modular so as to adapt to the shift in payload along a route, such as a segment being heavier on the bulk delivery of raw materials, with another segment being heavier on the containerized delivery of manufactured goods, and so on, so forth, thanks to a network of collapsible bulkheads. In its cavernous holds, it can hold twice as much cargo as the old Lucrehulk-Xs, with several million HighCube containers being capable of being held in the ship, or over five million people in planetary evacuations, even though usual passenger operation is usually done with much smaller numbers of passengers.

Thanks to its civilian nature, the ship is very lightly armed compared to other ships its size, with the flat tops of the ship allowing the ship's weapons to fire along any arc, as well as a hangar large enough to feature seven squadrons, with all hardpoints capable of being retracted inward when not in use. However, it is not intended to be a warship and, as such, should be operated with escorts.

Consumables: 3 months (normal passenger operation) - 3 years (pure cargo operation)
Cargo capacity: 500 million tons
Passenger capacity: 0 (pure cargo operation) - 1,000,000 (normal passenger operation) - 5 million (evacuation mode)
Crew: 12,000
