Description

Can carry 20 cargo canisters, each one capable of holding 1500 tons. The Helios is a terribly slow and bulky transport, but it is frequently used for cargo transportation because it can carry up to 30.000 tons of cargo. These ships have to have fighter escorts because they are quite popular targets of pirates and have almost no inherit protection.

It has no folddrive and relies on tug boats and foldportals for travel.
