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">{{ | The '''Hull C''' is the first heavy freighter of the [[StarCitizen:Hull (series)|Hull series]] developed by [[StarCitizen:Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern]].

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.

Trivia
- With a nominal load of 144 StarCitizen:32-SCU containers, 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">LIS: Logistics & Transport Lexicon - ISO-Container</ref> and Small feeder container-ships carry between 150 and 500 FEU.<ref name="Ship size">MAN Diesel (2009).
