History & Background (Dossier)
The Three Sisters are a three-ship class of heavy cargo haulers built in starting in 1128 by Midlothian Shipyards, the first two, the Elizabeth and the Anne, were commissioned by McTaggart & Singh Cartage, the Caledonian transportation firm, for hauling huge cargoes through jump space. Over the years, they have hauled mining rigs, hulked and incomplete warships, entire prefabricated up-port sections, and even asteroids up to 250,000 tons, on jobs both within the Principality and all of Reaver's Deep.
In 1190, Midlothian built a third "Sister", the Hana, for a heavy transport firm in the former Third Imperium.
