VC U.R.S.K.

Utility Rig and Skiff

Often deployed with expeditionary units bound for undeveloped planets, the URSK can aid in salvage, mining, and construction operations even in difficult terrain. The Rig itself carries the various tool attachments, cargo containers, power generation, collection, and storage systems, as well as oxygen and hydrogen generation and storage. The Skiff, which normally rides attached to the Rig, can detach from the Rig, fly to one of the three tool attachments and retrieve it for use. An elevated connector mounted on the Rig facilitates loading and unloading of the various tool attachments.
