LOCKMART AND WELSUN TYPE 3300B DEUCALION-CLASS X EXPEDITION COLONY CARRIER
A collaboration between industrial and military contractors, this massive UNISC-sponsored ringed-colony ship is designed to transport over 10,000 colonists and explorers up to 50 parsecs from earth to set up entire sectors. It carries four reentry-shielded atmospheric processors that can be deployed to a planetoid’s surface, set up, and made functioning within a week.
Like the tried and true Affiance-class, the Deucalion uses solar sails and recharge cycles to maintain itself during long-distance expeditions. The ship’s transit module has six docking arms for Magellan-class SEVs. Finally, the ship carries a manufacturing module that can be used to construct any planetary vehicles and equipment as long as the raw materials are collected and plans are on file.
Commissioned in 2181, only two of these vessels currently exist—the Deucalion and the Ìyánlá, but three more are under construction at the UA Skyfire Down naval shipyards orbiting LV-2412. They are expected to launch before the end of the decade.
