Based on the events of the short story 'Weather' by Alastair Reynolds. Lighthugger models by me, made in blender.

I finally added an ice sheath, and wanted to make this scene since it demonstrates exactly why its needed

The leader in heavy freight hauling across the settled systems, Starfreight Logistics Corporation currently fields 27 Superheavies primarily contracted by the UC and several larger manufacturers in the verse. The Belfast has been in service since 2312 carrying the largest loads across the starlanes from UC territories as far as the midrim colonies. The ship has capacity to carry over 5 million mcu of almost any kind but the Belfast has typically been utilized as an industrial engineering transport.

With only light weaponry for defense and very little mobility, she typically requires escorts for longer trips through the seedier trade routes. She typically travels alone throughout the core systems and with a standard manifest, she rarely encounters any parties interested in her cargo. On occasion, she's been attacked during transit by pirates and spacers but she can take a hell of a beating and the UC tends to assign squadrons of TIE V/F heavy starfighters to patrol rotations along trade routes.

When you need a massive shipment delivered quickly, call the pros at Starfreight Logistics! Delivering for the settled systems since 2166.

The Belfast is based on the Everrain starship by Aidelank on artstation and the heavy TIE fighters are based on Rasmus Poulsen's (technoveau) designs.
