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.

Testimonial=
“We shot Star Robbery! on a retired Hull E that the studio purchased for the holo. Worst part was that a 300 meter long spaceship looks like a city on camera; spacious interiors, engines you have to walk a quarter mile to reach. We actually ended up renting a Hull C for a bunch of the second unit stuff! Then for the climax, where it was supposed to blow up while Jan [Halsey, holo star] is rocketing away, the [redacted] thing just wouldn’t [redacted] explode! We rigged the spine with explosives, which the demo guys said would give it a cool collapsing effect… just snapped one of the prongs off with nary an additional scratch. Had to tow it to a drydock, reattach the prong and then tow it back to be blown up again!”
- Ax Skart, Director, STAR ROBBERY! |-|
Description=
MISC's Hull E is the big fish in this cargo Hull series. With its unparalleled capacity and immense adaptive structure, it can dominate any transport job. Large and extremely diverse, the MISC Hull E provides the hauling strength and defensive power any captain could dream of. If it's a big job the Hull E will get it done.

| 2015-04-25 | The Hull-E is initially introduced as a conceptual ship alongside the Hull-A, Hull-B, and Hull-D.<ref name="HullSeriesLaunch"/> |
| 2015-05-11 | The Hull series of ships including the E variant was originally concepted by StarCitizen:Jim Martin.<ref>Jim Martin Tumblr</ref> |
| 2025-11-27 | During the episode of Star Citizen Live: Lots of Ship Talk, it was revealed that the cargo capacity of the larger hull series of ships has been re-evaluated to reflect a more realistic gameplay experience, as the initial figures suggested that loading and unloading these ships would be excessively time-consuming. Consequently, the capacity of the Hull-E was adjusted from 98,304 to a more manageable 12,288 SCU.<ref name="SCLLots ofShipTalk">Star Citizen Live: Lots of Ship Talk (YouTube)</ref> |
Trivia
- Before the 2025 redesign, the Hull E had a nominal load of 3072 StarCitizen:32-SCU containers which gave it a similar carrying capacity as a modern Post-Panamax cargo container ship. A 32-SCU containers is roughly equivalent to a 40-foot container (FEU)<ref name="Container size">LIS: Logistics & Transport Lexicon - ISO-Container</ref> and Post-Panamax ships carry between 2,500 and 5,000 FEU.<ref name="Ship size">MAN Diesel (2009).
