Hello Citizens, The Hercules, Crusader's industry standard-setting starlifter chasis, is a massive transport ship. It's capable of loading an astounding array of vehicles, cargo, and even personnel, into it's mighty hull. And thanks to its incredibly robust defense and weapons packages, the Hercules will get whatever it is you're hauling, to its destination safe and unscathed by the ravages of space. Hopefully you have been following along with the story of Ciera Brun, a young volunteer who became intimately acquainted with the Hercules during a potentially dangerous humanitarian aid mission. You can follow along as she chronicles her adventure here: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/16550-Introducing-The-Hercules-Crusaders-Premier-Tactical-Starlifter.
