Description: The Traquia-class bulk freighter was designed in a bid by Ringovinda StarYards to build the largest ships in the galaxy capable of landing on planetary surfaces. To make loading/unloading faster, the ship is equipped with a ventral hangar designed to store 24 fighters in ceiling racks. Also, to defend the ventral hangar, 4 quad laser cannons and 4 ion cannons are equipped around its contour. It is one of the few ships equipped with Creveld-5 engines, of which it has three. As with all Ringovinda StarYards products, it enjoys great modularity. As a result, it can be used as a freighter or as a luxury liner. It can even land on planets, thanks to 36 Jessica variable-geometry landing gears, allowing it to even land on uneven surfaces, with the repulsorlift generators located between the main sublight engines. It is also equipped with the latest in collision avoidance technology, enabling it to avoid controlled flights in terrain (asteroid or planetary) as well as other spacecraft. In addition, it comes with standard inertial compensators and tensor field generators so that it can keep its contents safe so long as the ship survives. It can even carry nearly half a million intermodal containers in its cavernous cargo holds.
- Consumables: 2 months (low-comfort ark ship) - 2 years (pure freighter)
- Crew: 1,500 (skeleton: 500)
- Passengers: 0 (pure freighter) - 150,000 (luxury liner) - 600,000 (low-comfort ark ship)
- Cargo: 200,000 tons (luxury liner)-15 million tons (pure freighter)
