Earlier JumpShips — implicitly those the ''Tracker'' sought to imitate — had no docking hardpoints, but carried so-called [[DropShuttle|DropShuttles]] of up to 5,000 tons in internal shuttle bays. Thus it must be assumed that the original ''Tracker'' featured two such shuttle bays, and that a variant came into service at some point after 2458 that installed two docking hardpoints and turned the shuttle bays into cargo storage space otherwise.+ ==Named Vessels== + :<u>[[Rim Worlds Republic]]</u> + :* ''[[BattleCorps Ship Profiles#Ship Profile: Rws Krait|RWS Krait]]'' - A former [[Terran Hegemony]] vessel broken out of mothballs and refitted as an ambush craft for the Rim Worlds Republic; disappeared into the [[Deep Periphery]] in [[2769]]. − ==See Also==+ :<u>[[Terran Hegemony]]</u> − * [[:Category:Individual Tracker-class WarShips|List of named ''Tracker''-class WarShips.]]+ :* ''THS Marlow'' - The ''Marlow'', a ''Tracker''-class surveillance ship, was deployed to the [[Terra Firma]] system after the Capellan invasion of [[2409]].
