The Anastaska Maro-Class is an oceangoing naval support vessel designed for traditional general bulk or non-liquid types of cargo across vast water worlds. The early 27th Century design originally created by Lebedev Nautical Enterprises (LNE) on Tikonov in the Capellan Confederation. The ship shares similar design features with the Kaleen Bay-Class Tanker. Both ships were noted for their shared basic and low-tech design traits which allowed to be easily used and manufactured. Like the it's near sister ship, the Anastaska Maro was highly popular was licensed to other manufactures to be built on large water worlds.
Like many civilian industries, Lebedev Nautical Enterprises' production lines were destroyed during the Second Succession War. However the Anastaska Maro's design specks, along with Katleen Bay, would continue to be duplicated over the centuries since its introduction throughout the Inner Sphere.[2][3]
Equipment and Capacities
Anastaska Maro is powered by a powerful natural gas-powered ICE power plant, which has been designed to allow the ship to move at a reasonable pace across the water, with a range of eight thousand kilometers.

The conversions would given defensive weaponry, while a ships still carries out a normal "freighter" tasks of delivery cargo.[5]
- Ashigaru-class freighter
- Based on the Anastaska Maro, this a cosmetically variation. The Ashigaru distinguishion from it's original design is that Nav Hull of New Samarkand chose to make the design make it blockier, and have it propelled by an Petrochemical powered engine. The ship's other feature was Nav Hull choose to minimized it's crew compliment as well. Due to it's powerplant's exhaust, it was nicknamed the "Ash Barge".[6]
