The Sunderland B-26 Ox Starlifter Barge is a brute force cargo lifter designed to put standard cargo containers into orbit and transit over translunar distances (by converting the cabin to include a bed and fresher, short interplanetary distances can be accomodated by industrious transporters).
The open-topped barge uses four heavy articulated thruster arms to lift the platform, able to provide sustained thrust to arrest speed for planet fall, and fight a gravity well at low speeds to keep freight from enduring heavy stress. Two powerful Cygnus 460 main engines provide thrust to interplanetary speeds.
The barge can be automated via AI or using drone piloting, but most commonly it is connected to the L-19 "Foreman" Command Module.
