2019-11-23 Announced in StarCitizen:CitizenCon 2019 under the provisional name Vehicle 2. It was planned as a multicrew cargo ship of StarCitizen:Xi'an origin, and expected to have similar dimensions to StarCitizen:Hull B or StarCitizen:Freelancer MAX.<ref name="citcon2949">YouTube: CitizenCon 2949 - Ship Talk, acc. 2020-06-27</ref>

2025-08-21 In a StarCitizen:Star Citizen Live Q&A, StarCitizen:John Crewe said in response to a spectrum question about the validity of the Railen's cargo pod system, that it will be made able to support standard 32 SCU [[StarCitizen::Category:Containers|cargo containers]] and confirmed that the cargo capacity is going to go 'way up'.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
2025-11-20 StarCitizen:Pledge Store page updated to state the SCU capacity as 640 (previously 320 SCU). The Railen's info panel at the StarCitizen:Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2955 also states: '[...] with an astounding double the cargo capacity of earlier prototypes'.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

|-|Design brief = Template:Note

  • A small Xi'an cargo ship to compete with the Freelancer MAX and Caterpillar, possessing a cargo capacity and weapon loadout placed between the two.
  • Produced by Gatac Manufacture.
  • The ship will be vertical, rather than horizontal - much like the other Xi'an capital and cargo ships designed and shown in concept art.
  • As one entity manufactures all Xi'an ships for a given role (one manufacturer makes all transport, one makes all light fighters, etc.), it stands to reason that they might all follow a loose template, so it would be nice for the ship to be vertically aligned.
