DESCRIPTION​

The CEC-21 is a salvage vessel marketed at Outer Rim organisations looking to comb through the space lanes in search of 'loot'. More commonly, however, these ships have found their use as 'waste disposal vessels' around more giant 'salvage planets' and being used to dismember no longer-in-use ships destined for the scrap yard. Effectively being a large mobile scrap yard, this ship consists of a warren of cabins and engineering rooms, over a sizeable internal scrap bay, with vast engines at the back.

It has two ion cannons to ensure ships are fully disabled and six grapple lines to attach itself to its intended scrap target. It has a top-mounted laser cannon to ward of pirates and errant asteroids alike.

It is very easy to maintain and is a slow and hardy vessel with good modification capabilities. Somewhat unsurprisingly, as these have been in production for a very long time, these ships have become, in some cases, home to 'Offworld Jawa Tribes', becoming roaming scrap dealerships in the space lanes, stopping off at random planets to do business.

Whilst it does not have a large hanger capacity, with the standard model able to hold two 'boarding shuttles', a sound engineer would probably be able to alter this at the cost of cargo space. For what of a better description, this ship is a Sandcrawler, prepped for space travel with an engine unit slapped on the top.

LEGALITY​

Legal. Salvage freighters such as this model line are considered innocuous enough under most jurisdictions and are not restricted in most systems.

INTENT​

To provide a mobile scrap vessel.

RESTRICTIONS​

Though not especially rare, these can carry a phenomenal amount of cargo, and are not ideal for personal ownership, as they are much more expensive to maintain and operate than a standard light freighter. They are typically faction assets, although they could also serve as the focal point of a player-run business venture.

Approved.

At only 40 meters long, there is not possible way this vessel can carry 50,000 tons of cargo. It either needs to get bigger or the cargo needs to be reduced to something much more reasonable. Preferably both.
