Description
The Hoshiryokou is a small civilian DropShip, which was first produced in the early years of the Draconis Combine. Originally, the ship was designed as an inter-system cargo and passenger vessel; however, the Hoshiryokou aged badly. The design was redesigned by the near-bankrupt Kintetsu Stellar Systems to assume the role of a Space Tug. The ship succeeded, becoming a popular utility vessel in and around space complexes and merchant fleets in the Draconis Combine.[2]
Weapons and Equipment
Originally designed as a cargo vessel, it had one of its cargo bays outfitted to mount ten interchanging cargo containers, which can be swapped out for other cargo or utilitarian passenger carriages. The ship's fusion engines can push the vessel up to speed of 8[clarification needed] should its mission require it to move quickly. For it's primary mission as a space tug boat, the ship has a Naval Tug Adapter which allows it to dock with any vessel and move it safely.
The ships is protected by 18 tons of standard armor, giving it protection should the ship come under attack by pirates. The ship is only armed with a single large laser in the nose, with three small lasers acting as point defenses in the nose and aft quarters of the ship.[3]
