Here are a pair of simultaneous-build DY-100s.
One, the Santa Monica Bay, will be fully loaded with 16 cargo modules.
The other, the Thunder Bay, will be empty.
I do have enough spare parts to cobble together two individual cargo pods. Those will go to the Thunder Bay, however they may not be attached. I may have the pods being manuevered into position or something. We'll see.
The Santa Monica Bay
Launch Day: June 11, 1991.
The Santa Monica was a Sleeper Ship whose crew consisted of the first full inter-stellar survey team. Their destination: the star Fomalhaut,12 light years from Earth. Achieving nearly .5 light speed, it was a mere twenty five years later they would become the first humans to reach another star system. It was another twelve years before the people of Earth truly knew.
The Thunder Bay
An intrasolar ore carrier, ferrying loads throughout the solar system. It set many records for fastest and heaviest loads in it's brief life, the pride of the fleet. It wrecked in the asteroid belt several years after commissioning.
More of these ships and their stories to come.
