Notes:
The primary cargo vessel of the Solrain Defense Force and the greater Solrain pilot community,
the Pioneer is a familiar sight on the space lanes of the five systems. It compares very favorably
with the other cargo tow vessels of TRI. It almost matches the defensive capabilities of the Roc
by using a monsterous Mortar shield, and accelerates the best out of all three tows (including the
new version of the Thunder.) It does oddly lack for MODx slots compared to other tow designs,
and it doesn’t handle particularly well. Still, for raw efficiency in hauling the Pioneer is unmatched.
An escort though very dangerous sectors is still recommended, however.
