Why Vesta Smelting Combine chose the Basilisk Salvage Tug

When Vesta Smelting Combine wanted more capacity for its Ceres business, it compared ships from every major yard. In the end it ordered 2 Basilisk Salvage Tug hulls from Halcyon Stellar Works.

Founded in 2149 and headquartered at Vesta, Vesta Smelting Combine needed a Salvage tug 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.
