The Flat Top class Hauler is a civilian smallcraft.

Description[edit]

The Flat Top class Hauler is just one of the many designs created to speed up loading and unloading operations in the void. Capable of transporting four times its own displacement and equipped with enough loading belts to do the work of 80 crew, a single Flat Top class Hauler can empty a Beowulf class Free Trader in minutes. Unfortunately, in atmosphere a Flat Top class Hauler not only resembles a pallet of bricks, it moves with the agility of one.

Since it ordinarily uses its external cargo mounts to the fullest, this article rates its cargo including those mounts.
