NOTES:
Third Born is a heavy bulk freighter designed to carry space-travel standardized cargo containers.  Each container is 60’x 15’x15′ with a grand total of 13,500 cu’ of space.  The class is designed to haul up to 87 containers, for a grand total of 1.17 million cubic feet of cargo space.  (With a full load of containers, the ship uses the Attributes in parentheses.)

The maximum payload for planetfall is 12,000 tons – equivalent to 17 pounds/cubic foot.  Ordinarily, this means the vessel can land with a full cargo load, although it is very sluggish and unresponsive.

Slow and not glamourous, Third Born has been a successful smuggling vessel due to her carrying bulk loads of legitimate cargo, with illicit cargo hidden deep inside the containers.  After the Cylon attack, her master, Gus Costas, used the weapons and ammunition he was carrying to arm the vessel against attack.
