The MISC Hull A is the smallest, most affordable Hull. It is great for those just striking out in the galaxy on their own. The Hull A is most similar to the Aurora and Mustang, but lacks the 'jack of all trades' nature. Where the others trade cargo capacity for firepower or speed, the Hull A is 100% focused on transportation of cargo. Additionally, the Hull A (and B) are often used as surface-to-orbit ferries.^[1]

Brochure description

Model A of the MISC cargo Hull series is the perfect entry level cargo transport for safely and securely navigating the space lanes. Extremely configurable and light, the MISC Hull A can be adapted for most any type of transport job, making it the choice independent freight vessel the galaxy over.

Testimonial

“I bought my first [Hull] A used, when I was first starting out… her previous owner had named her SNUGBUG and try as I might to come up with something else, the name stuck. Snugbug and I had some good times. I got my start flying short runs; ground to starside, starside to ground to pick up crates off the bulk freighters over and over to make a name for myself. Spent more on fuel than I ever did flying duration missions! By the time I was worth a journeyman hauler rating, Snugbug was outfitted well enough to fend off the occasional pirate and I started moving whatever I could cross-system to make a ‘cred. Weirdest thing I ever shipped? It was livestock, grown on Terra… these weird cube-shaped chickens. Looked like meaty rectangles. Had to have a special transport module so they could breathe vacuum in-flight. I kid you not. Never saw anything like it, but the Banu ate them up. Literally.”

Series variants

Image	Name	Description
	Hull B	The Hull B is a more rugged option most often compared to MISC’s own Freelancer. But where the Freelancer is equipped for long range exploration and other roles, the Hull B is a pure cargo transport.
	Hull C	The middle ground between single-person transporters and massive super-freighters
	Hull D	The Hull D kicks off the larger end of the spectrum with a massive ship built around a rugged frame.
	Hull E	The ultimate edition of the Hull series. A ship is one of the largest player owned ships in the game and is so massive, it requires proper planning and preparation for the trips it will make.
