The '''Hull C''' is the first heavy freighter of the [[StarCitizen:Hull (series)|Hull series]] developed by [[StarCitizen:Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern]]. It is widely regarded as the most common and versatile vessel in the galaxy. Designed to occupy the middle ground between smaller, single-person transports and the massive super freighters that dominate the market, the Hull C offers expansive modularity while retaining a degree of maneuverability. With its exceptional configurability, the Hull C is the go-to choice for freighter captains seeking a reliable and adaptable cargo transport solution. Its reputation for defensibility and adaptability has made it the standard for transport jobs across known space.<ref name="HullCStore">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/hull/Hull-C|text=Hull-C Store}}</ref>

==Features==

{{List item
|Cargo
|Its cargo capacity is 144 [[StarCitizen:32-SCU container]]s at full load. They are the minimum-equippable sized container for the Hull C, [[StarCitizen:Hull D]] and [[StarCitizen:Hull E]].<ref name="QA RAFT">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/18441-Q-A-ARGO-RAFT|text=Q&A Argo RAFT|accessdate=2021-11-25}}</ref>
}}
{{List item
|Tractor Beams
|The ship has four remote Size 4 tractor beams allowing ease of transfer of the large amount of cargo it can carry.<ref name="HullCStore"/>

{{List item
|Living quarters
|A living space that is minimalistic yet functional has been designed to accommodate a maximum of four crew members during extended missions. This living quarters comprises of beds, a bathroom, and a generously sized mess hall.<ref name="HullCStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Defense
|The Hull C isn't completely defenseless thanks to its pair of Size 3 shields. It can also hit back with its six Size 3 guns on three remote gun turrets.<ref name="HullCStore"/>

Testimonial=
''“The MISC Hull C is one of the best-selling freighters in history… but the most famous Hull C isn’t a proper transport at all. Any racing fan knows the dreaded Ship X. Painted in a constantly-changing series of garish colors and capable of seemingly changing it’s [sic] Star-Craft Identification Number on the fly, Ship X seems to travel from race to race around the galaxy, displaying profane and bizarre slogans to the assembled crowds. Holo networks always cut around the ship, but it is a familiar sight to anyone who has ever attended a major race in person. It’s apparent that Ship X carries no cargo, as it escapes at full thrust when its presence is spotted by track officials…”''

For most of the concern’s history, the majority of MISC’s business has come from the production output of its heavy industrial division. MISC-HI is chiefly responsible for the Hull series range of configurable bulk transport spacecraft that have become ubiquitous in UEE space. These sturdy, modular hulls are the basis for the majority of Human corporate shipping. Their unexpected popularity among the Xi'an has spawned an unlikely business relationship (and a string of imitators on the other side of the border).

When the line launched in 2802, four standard models ranged in size from the efficient Hull A to the gargantuan Hull D. The Hull series quickly revolutionized interstellar freight, leading to the standardization of dockyards and cargo processes around the UEE. This led to long-ranging knock-on effects, including over a dozen outside companies being founded or significantly shifting focus to support the Hull design, such as Argo Astronautics launching its MPUV line of short-range cargo ferries. In 2820, MISC developed a fifth ‘super-freighter’, the Hull E, which has since become the de facto interplanetary bulk goods transporter, with docks around the galaxy moving cargo containers back and forth from the huge ships around the clock<ref name="jp1004MF">{{Cite Jump Point|title=Manufacturer feature: MISC|volume=10|month=4|startpage=18|endpage=18|accessdate=2022-12-12}}</ref>

==Trivia==
* With a nominal load of 144 [[StarCitizen:32-SCU container]]s, a Hull-C has a similar carrying capacity as a modern ''Small feeder'' cargo container ship. A 32-SCU containers is roughly equivalent to a 40-foot container (FEU)<ref name="Container size">[https://www.lis.eu/en/lexikon/iso-container/ LIS: Logistics & Transport Lexicon - ISO-Container]</ref> and ''Small feeder'' container-ships carry between 150 and 500 FEU.<ref name="Ship size">[https://web.archive.org/web/20120507192232/http://www.mandieselturbo.eu/files/news/filesof4672/5510-0040-01ppr_low.pdf/ MAN Diesel (2009).
