Description	The Hawser is a pretty small and inexpensive Tug Boat which is well suited for smaller tows. It only needs two people to operate and can land on planets which can be quite useful. It can tow its cargo (often something like a Delari Cruiser without a Foldspace drive) over two sectors which is pretty impressive and can be a good financial choice over having to sacrifice cargo for fuel in the primary transport vessel, especially when a part of the route is through foldportals.
