*'''Development of a new ship:'''

After the success of Consolidated Outland's first ship, [[Mustang]] in [[2944]], [[Silas Koerner]] wanted to disrupt Humanity by leading the company to strike out in a bold new direction and began developing an expedition vessel that is significantly different from its predecessor. Instead of simply constructing a ship to fly to new worlds, Silas and his team dreamt of a craft that would help build them. Using the advanced ship manufacturing plants they had constructed on [[Bremen system|Bremen]] as their inspiration, the Consolidated Outland design team managed to house an entire automated fabrication plant inside the hull of the Pioneer.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/4ea3iytexqoicr/source/CitizenCon2017_Brochure_COMPLETE_NoCMYK.pdf|text=CitizenCon 2017 Brochure}}</ref>

The Consolidated Outland Pioneer is an upcoming self-contained mobile construction yard capable of creating planetary modular structures, allowing colonists to customize their new homes on the frontier.[1] Utilizing an on-board reserve of resources, the Pioneer can construct and deploy modular outposts as well as continue to build additional modules to turn your outpost into a settlement.[2][3]

Features

Outpost manufacture and assembly area
The Pioneer has an advanced fabrication plant that allows assembling a ready-to-deploy remote outpost from the construction materials stored aboard. It can create modules with a variety of functions utilizing Pioneer-compatible design schematics.[4] The Pioneer houses a fully-functioning production line within its hull capable of constructing a custom outpost.[3]
Bridge
The Pioneer's elevated bridge provides an eagle's eye view of the settlement when deployed on ground, doubling as the command center of the colony.[4] While in flight, it provides maximum visibility while piloting and can serve as a surveying point while planetside.[3]
Landing Pad
The Pioneer has an external utility landing pad that supports utility vehicles such as Argo MPUV or additional fighter escorts.[3]
Turrets
The Pioneer features two manned and two remote turrets to provide protection while in flight or as additional ground-based defensive systems against hostiles on the ground or air for the settlement while landed.[3]
Landing Gear
The Pioneer features Consolidated Outland's Vari-Pad technology that was specifically designed to safely stabilize the ship on a wide variety of planetary terrain and environments.[3]
Cargo Bay
The Pioneer has a dedicated cargo area to bring supplies, planetary defenses and construction materials required for fabrication.[4]
Habitation Area
The Pioneer contains a habitation area that provides comfortable lodging for the ship's crew and additional passengers during the long flight to the frontier.[3]
Engineering
The engineering sections provide crew access to primary ship functions, and allow oversight of the manufacturing area.[3]

Lore

After the success of Consolidated Outland's first ship, Mustang in 2944, Silas Koerner wanted to disrupt Humanity by leading the company to strike out in a bold new direction and began developing an expedition vessel that is significantly different from its predecessor. Instead of simply constructing a ship to fly to new worlds, Silas and his team dreamt of a craft that would help build them. Using the advanced ship manufacturing plants they had constructed on Bremen as their inspiration, the Consolidated Outland design team managed to house an entire automated fabrication plant inside the hull of the Pioneer.[4]

In 2947, the company unveiled the Pioneer. For the first time ever, colonists can custom manufacture outposts onsite to their own exacting specifications, stock their new home with supplies, and defend it with just one single vessel. Colonization used to take a corporation could now be done by a few individuals.[4] The initial batch of Pioneers also include a single Claim License from UEEPlanetary Development Bureau for commercial or private construction that allows the owner to officially own a piece of the UEE and enjoy its protection.[3]
