"Volna Ruka" Heavy Element Tanker
The Volna Ruka line of space tankers, originally produced by Ugri Gil'diya Industrial, was the staple for transporting heavy elements, namely fuel like He3 and, later, Element 274 from the Amen Ra Nebula.
These ships saw the height of production during the settling of the federal colony of Gamma Cruxis, and was the first vessel of its size to use a tachyon bubble drive that could achieve C12, that is, 12 times the speed of light.
While new, more efficient versions have long since replaced these in large scale use, their abundance and robustness make them a common freighter used by small mom-n'-pop firms, many of them modified with an updated bubble drive and option to carry cargo.
Note the four propulsion systems to the fore; pull-propulsion is much more efficient when carrying heavy things. The other engines/propulsion on the very front and back are merely for maneuvering.
