Hull C

The MISC Hull C is often called the most common ship in the galaxy. Indeed, it is the most-produced ship of the Hull range and is considered by many to be the most versatile. Intended to hit the 'sweet spot' between the smaller single-person transports and the massive superfreighters that make up the rest of the range, the Hull C offers the expansive modularity of the larger ships while still retaining a semblance of maneuverability.

The Hull C cargo capacity is 144 32-SCU containers at full load. They are the minimum-equippable sized container for the RAFT, Hull C, Hull D and Hull E.

Description
"The Model C of the MISC cargo Hull series is the perfect balance between cargo transport and defensibility. Extremely configurable, the MISC Hull C can be adapted for almost any type of transport job and it has become the standard of reliability for freighter captains across known space."

Testimonial
''“The MISC Hull C is one of the best-selling freighters in history… but the most famous Hull C isn’t a proper transport at all. Any racing fan knows the dreaded Ship X. Painted in a constantly-changing series of garish colors and capable of seemingly changing it’s Star-Craft Identification Number on the fly, Ship X seems to travel from race to race around the galaxy, displaying profane and bizarre slogans to the assembled crowds. Holo networks always cut around the ship, but it is a familiar sight to anyone who has ever attended a major race in person. It’s apparent that Ship X carries no cargo, as it escapes at full thrust when its presence is spotted by track officials…”''

For most of the concern’s history, the majority of MISC’s business has come from the production output of its heavy industrial division. MISC-HI is  chiefly  responsible  for  the  Hull  series  range  of  configurable  bulk  transport spacecraft that have become ubiquitous in UEE space. These sturdy, modular hulls are the basis for the majority of Human corporate shipping. Their unexpected  popularity  among  the  Xi’an  has  spawned  an unlikely business relationship (and a string of imitators on the other side of the border).

When the line launched in 2802, four standard models ranged in size from the  efficient  Hull  A  to  the  gargantuan  Hull  D.  The  Hull  series  quickly revolutionized interstellar freight, leading to the standardization of  dockyards  and  cargo  processes  around  the  UEE. This led  to  long-ranging  knock-on  effects,  including  over  a  dozen  outside  companies  being founded or significantly shifting focus to support the Hull design, such  as  Argo  Astronautics  launching  its  MPUV  line  of  short-range  cargo  ferries. In 2820,  MISC  developed  a  fifth  ‘super-freighter’,  the  Hull E, which has since become the de facto interplanetary bulk goods transporter,  with  docks  around  the  galaxy  moving  cargo  containers  back and forth from the huge ships around the clock
