Hercules-Class 1,000,000-Ton TL16 J4 Merchant Tender

A Mongoose 2e design. The TL16 J4 Hercules-Class Merchant Tender is a civilian version of the Warmonger-Class Battle Tender designed to haul a mixture of 21 Type V 50,000-Ton cargo/fuel, low berth, and passenger pods (1,050,000 tons total). At need, it can also carry Type V 50,000-Ton Marine Transport pods and Navy Passenger Pods under contract.

The Hercules line was designed with quick turnover in mind. Each stop should only run 72 hours, at most, if the system crew is on the ball. If they aren't, heads will surly roll as the schedule for these ships is everything. As the crew will be worked hard, even with robots doing most of the work, they are treated very well, with individual staterooms, a gourmet kitchen, and a hot tub big enough for everyone. A robotic steward sees to their needs and keeps morale high.
