The '''Hull C''' is a heavy freight variant of the [[Hull (series)|Hull series]] of transport ships developed by [[Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern]]. It is widely regarded as the most common and versatile vessel in the galaxy. Designed to occupy the middle ground between smaller, single-person transports and the massive super freighters that dominate the market, the Hull C offers expansive modularity while retaining a degree of maneuverability. With its exceptional configurability, the Hull C is the go-to choice for freighter captains seeking a reliable and adaptable cargo transport solution. Its reputation for defensibility and adaptability has made it the standard for transport jobs across known space.<ref name="HullCStore">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/hull/Hull-C|text=Hull-C Store}}</ref>

==Features==

{{List item
|Cargo
|Its cargo capacity is 144 [[32-SCU container]]s at full load. They are the minimum-equippable sized container for the [[RAFT]], Hull C, [[Hull D]] and [[Hull E]].<ref name="QA RAFT">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/18441-Q-A-ARGO-RAFT|text=Q&A Argo RAFT|accessdate=2021-11-25}}</ref>
}}
{{List item
|Tractor Beams
|The ship has four remote Size 4 tractor beams allowing ease of transfer of the large amount of cargo it can carry.<ref name="HullCStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Living quarters
|A living space that is minimalistic yet functional has been designed to accommodate a maximum of four crew members during extended missions. This living quarters comprises of beds, a bathroom, and a generously sized mess hall.<ref name="HullCStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Defense
|The Hull C isn't completely defenseless thanks to its pair of Size 3 shields. It can also hit back with its six Size 3 guns on three remote gun turrets.<ref name="HullCStore"/>

 Testimonial=
''“The MISC Hull C is one of the best-selling freighters in history… but the most famous Hull C isn’t a proper transport at all. Any racing fan knows the dreaded Ship X. Painted in a constantly-changing series of garish colors and capable of seemingly changing it’s [sic] Star-Craft Identification Number on the fly, Ship X seems to travel from race to race around the galaxy, displaying profane and bizarre slogans to the assembled crowds. Holo networks always cut around the ship, but it is a familiar sight to anyone who has ever attended a major race in person. It’s apparent that Ship X carries no cargo, as it escapes at full thrust when its presence is spotted by track officials…”''

For most of the concern’s history, the majority of MISC’s business has come from the production output of its heavy industrial division. MISC-HI  is  chiefly  responsible  for  the  Hull  series  range  of  configurable  bulk  transport spacecraft that have become ubiquitous in UEE space. These sturdy, modular hulls are the basis for the majority of Human corporate shipping.  Their  unexpected  popularity  among  the  Xi'an  has  spawned  an unlikely business relationship (and a string of imitators on the other side of the border).

When the line launched in 2802, four standard models ranged in size from  the  efficient  Hull  A  to  the  gargantuan  Hull  D.  The  Hull  series  quickly revolutionized interstellar freight, leading to the standardization of  dockyards  and  cargo  processes  around  the  UEE.  This  led  to  long-ranging  knock-on  effects,  including  over  a  dozen  outside  companies  being founded or significantly shifting focus to support the Hull design, such  as  Argo  Astronautics  launching  its  MPUV  line  of  short-range  cargo  ferries.  In  2820,  MISC  developed  a  fifth  ‘super-freighter’,  the  Hull E, which has since become the de facto interplanetary bulk goods transporter,  with  docks  around  the  galaxy  moving  cargo  containers  back and forth from the huge ships around the clock<ref name="jp1004MF">{{Cite Jump Point|title=Manufacturer feature: MISC|volume=10|month=4|startpage=18|endpage=18|accessdate=2022-12-12}}</ref>
