Why Pacifica Launch Services chose the Kestrel

When Pacifica Launch Services wanted more capacity for its Luna business, it compared ships from every major yard. In the end it ordered 8 Kestrel hulls from Halcyon Stellar Works.

Founded in 2112 and headquartered at Asia-Pacific, Pacifica Launch Services needed a Light shuttle that a small flight crew of 2 could run safely over long rotations.

The company's fleet planners cited low operating costs and fast turnaround at Halcyon yards as the deciding factors.

The first ships are already in service, with the rest of the order arriving over the coming quarter.
