Design and Development
The closing years of the 2100s saw the development push outwards toward the stars. Secret projects were being run in the System Commonwealth's testing labs on the far side of the Mun for a powerplant to revolutionize travel to the outer planets and beyond. With the engine slowly being developed, CWI partnered with the Systems Commonwealth to develop a robust long-haul platform capable of withstanding the brutal heat required from the prototype engine, as well as a robust frame to attach bulk cargo to. The design was built around an octagonal structure, with eight hardpoints for palletized cargo and four large fuel tanks. To keep the cargo shielded from the nuclear engine, the length of the craft was stretched and two massive radiator arrays affixed aft of the cargo mounts.
Theoretical calculations suggested the new craft would be able to haul 30,000 tons of cargo from Kerbin to Jool without refuel, and its construction was approved by CWI headquarters in 2205, following a successful test of the Nuclear Fusion "Pletelyos" engine. Construction was completed at Wardian Korfu Shipyards, Minmus, in early 2207, and its first test flight would haul the Morser-Class Battleship BB-25 Gotterdamerung to Laythe for display as a museum exhibit.
