Nyubba-class cargo barge driver

The Nyubba-class Barge Driver was a segmented freight barge driver produced by SoroSuub Transport and Supply Division. Nyubba-class freighters accounted for approximately 20 percent of all Sorosuub cargo transfers, filling in gaps left by bulk freighters and container ships.

The Nyubba-class was a bulky, uneven looking craft with five spherical sections and an offset lateral engine core strut. The offset main engine allowed cargo barges to attach to the fore and aft of the driver, generally attaching three on each side. At twenty-two meters in length, the driver could handle an onboard cargo of 200 metric tons, two passengers and the requisite crew of pilot and co-pilot. The large amount of cargo hauled per ship, slow sublight speed, heavy reliance on automation and a meager defensive array of two turret-mounted double laser cannons, Nyubba-class drivers were popular targets for pirates.
