Terran RORO Freighter
Terran RORO Freighter

With the advent of the Metagrav drive system, Terran ships no longer needed a bulge around the equator to house impulse engines.

On many older ship designs, the bulge was also important for the structural integrity of the hull, and thus could not be removed completely when retrofitting a Metagrav drive into an older ship. Thus a compromise was made for cargo vessels: removing parts of the bulge, and moving machinery from the center of the ship into the remaining parts of the bulge.

This made it possible to have a cargo deck spanning the entire diameter of the ship, with large access ports on opposing sides. The resulting ships were called RORO (roll-on roll-off) freighters, in reference to ocean-going ships of the past with similar features.

Based on lore from the Perry Rhodan series.
