The Hull A is a light freight variant of the Hull series of transport ships developed by Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern. It features the most compact design within its series, acting as an exceptionally accessible introduction to both the Hull series and the realm of substantial cargo transport. Equipped with the same telescoping spindle mechanism found in its larger counterparts and capable of delivering an impressive 64 SCU at full capacity, the Hull A is ideally suited for adventurous solo couriers eager to explore the galaxy and enhance their professional trajectories.^[1]

Features

Telescoping Cargo Spindle

Compact when retracted and capable of accommodating up to 64 SCU of cargo when expanded, the Hull A's spindle gives the ship both a unique profile and a very high cargo capacity.^[1]

Dynamic Spindle Loading

Loading and unloading cargo is a speedy, hands-off experience; saving the pilot time and money at both ends of a profitable cargo run.^[2]

Surface-to-orbit ferry

In addition to its standard use as a light hauler, the Hull A is often used as a surface-to-orbit ferry.^[3] It can carry its load in any fitting mix of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 SCU containers.^[4]^[5]^[6]

Crew accommodation

The single-person crew enjoys a generously appointed cabin amidships featuring a kitchenette, full washroom, weapons locker, suit locker, a bunk that doubles as an escape pod, and convenient access to the ship's internal storage.^[1]

Airlock

The side airlock offers convenient planetside or EVA access, and can also be used as a ship-to-ship docking port.^[1]

Weaponary

The Hull A is not entirely defenseless, as it is equipped with two Size 1 gun hardpoints mounted on a remote turret.^[1]

Lore

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^[7]
