Aburne

Aburne

Tier I - Transport

The Aburne class was once a military science vessel - now refitted to be a light cargo freighter.

Originally built for scientific exploration and observation, the Aburne was once a cutting-edge sub of the Coalition fleet. As the environment on Europa grew more hostile and the Navy found itself far more occupied keeping the peace, these ships were unable to perform their purpose. Now replaced by the far more capable and modern Northumberland class - many Aburnes have been stripped of their equipment and decommissioned, most left to rust or be recycled.

Fate would have them become another forgotten model only mentioned in archives - if it weren't for the ever-hungry supply chain. After radical redesign and an ambitious retrofit program, many surviving and seaworthy vessels were granted a second chance at life. Remade as a light freighter, it is now an odd but capable vessel for its role.

Every running Aburne is part of the original production, no new ships of this model are manufactured. As ships are inevitably lost to either the depths or malfunction, the Aburnes grow ever fewer in number. Many of those still running are often a mishmash of parts salvaged from others of their make. Regulated to the bargain bin for inexperienced crews - it seems likely that its second life is going to be its last.
