Description: The Ivonovich Yards CL-54 Mogushchestvenniy (Mighty) Cargo Lifter is widely used across the ‘Verse, from construction sites to small shipping firms. When short-haul, dependable transport is needed, it’s frequently this boat filling the role. The lifter has earned the reputation that it simply won’t die. Its ability to keep running in adverse conditions surpasses even the legendary Firefly. Because of this, many CL-54s seem to be nothing more than an assembly of various kinds of rust. The boat ain’t pretty, but it is dependable, and as ubiquitous as Blue Sun.
The lifter can tote eight standard cargo containers, with a maximum load of 240 tons, but often it is modified to handle different loads. A popular option is a passenger dorm level above and bulk storage below, using the main airlock for unloading.
Stairs to the crew deck level in the main airlock are retractable. Access to main engineering is through the catwalk on the shuttle level. A light cargo lift may be lowered from the ventral EVA hatch to ground level, passing all the way to the shuttle airlock. This affords some ease in unloading cargo from the shuttle or allowing special needs passengers the ability to avoid the steep and narrow stairs.
