Gonthabu is a retrofitted Hansa-class transport originally built for civilian cargo before acquisition under Coalition auxiliary requisition protocols. Upgunned and reinforced to combine heavy forward firepower with expanded cargo, it is a preferred asset for forcing restricted corridors and sustaining deliveries to beleaguered outposts. However, performance relies on supercapacitor overcharging and a reactor stripped of safety overrides, leaving a negligible margin for error during a crisis.

Powergrid notes:
Reactor Output: 5700 kw
Junction Boxes are organized into two redundant lines, A and B, color coded Red and Blue. Restoring all JBs of one color and Main JB in Reactor Room will restore power to the entire ship.
Two batteries with a total capacity of 4000kw acting as uninterruptible power supply, automatically activate when reactor power output drops. Can be charged via upper airlock by docked structures and ships.
Main Features:
- Large floodable Cargo Bay controlled by the Nav. Terminal
Can be used for crash diving and scooping up dead monsters with upward momentum
- Cargo Elevator that can be sent between lower aft exterior hull and engineering
Command Room:
