Description

The Hoshiryokou is a small civilian DropShip, which was first produce in early years of Draconis Combine. Originally the ship was designed as a intersystem cargo and passenger vessel, however the Hoshiryokou age badly. The design was redesigned by the near bankrupt Kintetsu Stellar Systems to act assume the role as a Space Tug, using Naval Tug Adapter cargo and disabled vessels in and around space stations. The ship would succeed, become a popular utility vessel in around space complexes and Merchant fleets in the Draconis Combine.[2]

The ship's fusion engines can push the vessel up to speed of 8 should it mission require it to move quickly to a destination. For it's primary mission as space tug boat, the ship has a Naval Tug Adapter to allow it to dock with any vessel and move it safely.


The ships is protected by 18 tons of standard armor, giving it protection should ship come under attack by pirates.
