Notes:
The Cargo Tow is the standard hauling vehicle of the five systems. All use standardized cargo
pods, with the actual tow vehicle making up the rest of the vessel. These ships were designed
with the assistance of TRI to ensure the smooth and plentiful flow of goods between and within
the various member nations. The Condor is the most heavily armored Tow in the five systems,
mounting enough armor to withstand exactly two tactical nuke hits (though a micrometeor could
destroy the vessel afterward.) It also mounts a good shield, but it is not well armed (with the
possible exception of two assault-class missile mounts, and the ability to utilize the hard-to-aim
Serializer plasma cannons) and will require escort if it looks as though it will face more than
Conflux on its run (thanks to the Anti-Flux ECM). It is also quite fast for a cargo vessel, with a
serviceable T/M ratio. Hauling is not a glorious job, but this vessel will more than get the job done.
It is interesting to note that this vessel was used as something like a gunboat before the advent of
the Vulture class Assault Gunboat. With its small guns and lack of power, however, it was a poor
ship for the role. These days it is used exclusively for hauling, though it can be used in combat in
the direst of emergencies. Also, it is recommended that cargo pilots keep a Camera in one of
their MODx slots so they can view their destination gate from a distance and align accordingly.
