Why Huygens Basin Industries chose the Tempest Ice Runner

When Huygens Basin Industries wanted more capacity for its Enceladus business, it compared ships from every major yard. In the end it ordered 3 Tempest Ice Runner hulls from Halcyon Stellar Works.

Founded in 2160 and headquartered at Titan, Huygens Basin Industries needed a Outer-system ice transport that a small flight crew of 3 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.
