BIG Z1776
Baboon with a MAAWS
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
A complex industrial ship, and usually built to order due to their expensive nature. They possess a large and complex refinery complex able to swap components for fuel or solid ore purification. The ship houses a large number of automated mining droids for mining asteroids with great efficiency. The ship's crew never need to get their hands dirty with the mining or refining themselves, and usually operate control consoles and only the engineers due to the heavy lifting of maintenance and repair when necessary. When given a constantly supply of ore or raw fuel the ship can churn out thousands of tons usable material a day, working constantly and efficiently.
- Intent: To create a large command and control ship for far-off mining operations to be sold on the market.

- Long-term crew accommodations in the middle and stern area of the ship.
- Very powerful particle shields and interior hull compartmentalization.
- Automated damage control systems for protecting the ship and its crew.
- Refinery complex able to be switched between ore refineries and fuel refineries.
- Automated loading cranes, tractor beams, and pipes for transferring cargo and unrefined and refined fuel between itself and other ships.
- Hidden saferooms with stand-alone life support systems and supplies to allow the crew hole up for an extended period which are different from ship to ship.
- Ship's blast doors are strong and able to be remotely locked down to slow down boarders.
- Can operate with a fairly small crew for a ship its size for a long time.
- So long as the crew can operate and fuel can be delivered the ship can operate indefinitely.
- Strong build, this ship can take quite a lot of damage.
- Hard to board and harder to hijack.
- Never going to outrun pirates or privateers.
- Very expensive to run and even more expensive to lose.
- Completely unarmed, relies on escorts or rescues to ward off pirates.
- Its cargo capacity is small for a ship its size, requires dedicated freighters to deliver its refined products.
