The Hercules class bulk carriers is the epitome of the lumbering big of a ship which results from an attempt to maximize cargo capacity within a starfaring hull. Fully 52.5% of the ship's displacement is given over to cargo carriage. The Hercules is a proprietary design built for Tukera Lines and Akerut.

The Hercules is optimized for use on the mains. The Hercules can escape from a main by use of a fuel bladder and making a deep space jump from one main to another.

Because it's two Master Fire Directors can control the ship's four turrets without requiring them to be manned, the Hercules crew can be reduced by four members by leaving the turrets unmanned. Normal weapon load is four triple laser turrets grouped into two batteries.

The ship also carries a 50-ton modular cutter usually equipped with a fuel module.
