Want security, comfort, speed and a decent profit margin? Of course you do! And with the latest ship from New Chicago Shipyards, all those things are a right - not a privilege.

The people who brought you the highly successful Freight-Courier are back, hoping to create a new market niche. The new ship is aimed at owner-captains who want to be able to haul large loads, but also want to be able to give a good account of themselves if forced into a combat situation.

The product of more than a hundred man-years of development, the Magellan Class Starcruiser is a little beauty!

They say that good things come in small packages, and Magellan is no exception. The engineers at New Chicago have squeezed so much in! As standard, the new starcruiser comes with a blaze turret and the Hunter missile launcher which makes the Freight-Courier such a nasty opponent. The twin engines are powerful yet highly reliable, and their wide spacing and a profusion of acces hatches makes maintenance easy.

Magellan's real strength lies in its unique Podswap Technology (tm) - the space between the twin booms is designed to accept a variety of items, including apassenger module, several types of cargo cannisters and even a military systems package. With the Podswap system, delivering a cargo and picking up another can involve a turnaround time of less than five minutes!
