The Sea Turtle

The Sea Turtle is a 2nd generation large cargo ship produced by Centauri Spaceworks.  It can carry 48 units of cargo.  It also has space for 15 units of supplies for the crew (O2 tank, C02 scrubbers and batteries).

The forward section of the ship houses the control room, communications, and an engine pod (LK Lander Core) to help with deceleration.  The middle portion of the ship contains 6 cargo hold modules for transporting water or batteries.  It also houses a lateral engine used for rotating and lateral maneuvers.  The aft section of the ship contains another engine pod, and fuel.



The Sea Turtle was build using parts from the decommissioned Squidward.  Unlike the Squidward, it has good lateral mobility thanks to the  engine that is positioned in the between the two cargo holds.

The 4 solar panels provide enough power to run the control room, 3 engine rooms, and a connecting passage. The solar panels can be left open while firing the engines. This is an advantage over the the 1st generation cargo ship.
