Drake

Mitsubishi Commercial announces the completion of the first void salvage ship, UNAS Drake, named for the famed British navigator and privateer. The Drake-class salvagers are impressive ships. Displacing over 36,000 void tons, they are capable of processing over 500 tons of void debris per day. Their integral Trans-Newtonian Rift Device--built from a license from a Cornucopian propulsion firm--is capable of transiting the Drake itself and one other ship of up to 36,000 void tons through an ungated rift terminus. Thus, in addition to their vital work examining void debris for technological information, they are capable of serving as large jump tenders in a pinch.
