Description

The Hoshiryokou is a small civilian DropShip which was first produced in the early years of the Draconis Combine. Originally, the ship was designed as a cargo and passenger vessel; however, the Hoshiryokou aged badly. The ship was redesigned by the near-bankrupt Kintetsu Stellar Systems to assume the role of a space tug. This new version succeeded, becoming a popular utility vessel in and around space complexes and merchant fleets in the Draconis Combine.[1]

Weapons and Equipment

Originally designed as a cargo vessel, the Hoshiryokou had one of its cargo bays outfitted to mount ten interchanging cargo containers, which can be swapped out for other cargo or utilitarian passenger carriages. The ship's fusion engines can push the vessel up to maximum thrust of 8 should its mission require it to move quickly. For its primary mission as a space tug boat, the ship has a naval tug adapter, which allows it to dock with any vessel and move it safely.

The ship is protected by 18 tons of standard armor, giving it protection should the vessel come under attack by pirates. The ship is armed with only a single large laser in the nose, with three small lasers acting as point defenses in the nose and aft quarters of the ship.[1]

Cargo

  • Bay 1 - Cargo Containers, 10-ton capacity (10) - 1 Door
  • Bay 2 - Cargo (85 tons) - 1 Door

Notes

As of this writing, the Hosiryokou has no entry in the Master Unit List.
