The Heyan Rose class Freight Tractor is a TL–14 jump-capable Freight Tractor.

Description

Tractor vessels are an economic proposition where bulk or single destination cargoes are concerned. The Heyden Rose is an example of a ship capable of hauling a single 300 ton cargo pod. Time to load and unload the pod can be done separately from the normal ship operations, saving time.

With a loaded pod attached, the Hayden Rose is capable of only a 1G acceleration and a jump-2 operation.

History & Background (Dossier)

Originally built by General Shipyards for the Sieur de Flueret's Zaibon Copper Consortium . First flight in 1048 as the Chanson de Roland. Sold in 1087 when ZCC's assets were liquidated, keeping its Imperial Civil Registry MV-49620 and being renamed Heyan Rose. It has since had many owners, and numerous repairs and modifications such as the replacement of its original Shva jump drive by the two Hollywell units from an unidentified streamlined vessel.
