Background: The Gravitic Orbital SuperContainer, or GOSC, is Allanea’s scaled-down response to the Menelmacari Colca Supercontainer. It is a gravitic and plasma engine-powered spacecraft, designed in a box-like configuration, made to carry standard TEU/FEU shipping containers. Once loaded, the GOSC can launch into space, where it is either transferred to or docked with a larger spacecraft (such as the Numerramar cargo freighter).
This setup allows these large freighters to pick up planetside cargo from ports lacking the infrastructure to accommodate massive spacecraft or even basic space-travel facilities. As long as the GOSC can safely land or be positioned in water, it can efficiently serve remote or underdeveloped locations.
The GOSC is somewhat larger than traditional ‘feedermax’ vessels used at sea, yet fulfills a similar function—transporting cargo to larger ships for onward space transit.
Technology: In low atmospheres, the GOSC operates almost silently and safely using gravitic engines alone, while its plasma drives can be engaged to reach higher speeds when moving away from populated areas.
The GOSC control layout aligns with standard Allanean spacecraft configurations and supports remote operation. For safety, the GOSC is designed to transfer control to orbital authorities during takeoffs and landings, minimizing risk. As with all Allanean vessels the responsibility of maintaining a database of secure authentication codes rests with ship operators.
The power output of the GOSC is sufficient to carry refrigerated (‘reefer’ containers) powered by its onboard systems.
Variants:
GOSC-B: The bulker variant of the Gravitic Orbital Super Container, the GOSC-B can be filled up with up to 346,000 cubic meters of bulk load (up to 988,000 tons of iron ore ore similar loads).
GOSC-T: This can carry up to 350,000 cubic meters of liquid or gaseous fuels in a hull that is segmented into up to 6 compartments for safety purposes.
GOSC-R: A roll on / roll-off variant, with up to 6 levels of modular decking that is used to carry ground vehicles to delivery to customers. The height and number of the decks can be adjusted by the customer during use. Vehicles weighing up to 100 tons each can be moved using standard decking, larger vehicles require adjustments to deck reinforcements.
