Fossores-class cargo hauler

The Fossores-class (meaning Miner in Latin) is a heavy hyperspace-faring cargo vessel capable of mining various asteroids and transporting large amounts of cargo either across a star system or between many different ones. The ship mounts 4 mining lasers for heavy duty mining along with copious amounts of storage for mined goods or precious cargo. The ship is defended against incoming raiders in the form of point defence lasers, which can take out incoming missiles or solid shot, and deal short range damage to boarding parties. The ship is also incredibly fast, meaning your cargo will reach its target before you can shout "Imperator!"

The Fossores-class might not look like much at first glance, but it's fast and has a high capacity, making it a very powerful ship for any merchantman traversing the stars. It might not be a battleship in terms of firepower, but with the speed and point defence systems combined, any pirate or raider will struggle to keep this in its sights.
