The Ironclad is a heavy freight spacecraft manufactured by Drake Interplanetary. Developed as a vessel that can traverse dangerous routes, the Ironclad's hull is covered with specialized, thick armor plating that can withstand assaults from multiple types of weapons. Missile launchers and turrets give it the ability to fend off attackers, and a trio of tractor beams allow it to remotely load and unload cargo without risking the lives of its crew. In the event of an emergency, the detachable command module can be used as an escape pod.
