The '''[[MISC]] Hull series''' of ships is a series of utilitarian cargo haulers that have the highest cargo capacity in their class, but sacrifice defenses and extra features. The MISC series is an inter-connected system of ships designed around the same principles and intended to share the same equipment and maintenance processes<ref name="TMHS">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/14661-A-Hull-For-Every-Job-The-MISC-Hull-Series|text=A Hull For Every Job}}</ref>.

For most of the concern’s history, the majority of MISC’s business has come from the production output of its heavy industrial division. MISC-HI is chiefly responsible for the Hull series range of configurable bulk transport spacecraft that have become ubiquitous in [[UEE]] space. These sturdy, modular hulls are the basis for the majority of Human corporate shipping. Their unexpected popularity among the [[Xi’an]] has spawned an unlikely business relationship (and a string of imitators on the other side of the border)<ref name="jp1004MF">{{Cite Jump Point|title=Manufacturer feature: MISC|volume=10|month=4|startpage=18|endpage=18|accessdate=2022-12-12}}</ref>.

[[File:New Hull series lineup.png|thumb|New Hull series lineup.]]
MISC has created the Hull A through E to provide countless options for every type of merchant: from the single-person Hull A to the super-massive Hull E bulk freighter, there’s a Hull for every job. Each ship includes a manned cab, a drive unit and a telescoping cargo spindle. When laden, the spindle expands to accept cargo pallets; while unloaded, the spindle retracts for faster, more maneuverable travel<ref name="TMHS" />

When the line launched in 2802, four standard models ranged in size from the efficient Hull A to the gargantuan Hull D. The Hull series quickly revolutionized interstellar freight, leading to the standardization of dockyards and cargo processes around the UEE. This led to long-ranging knock-on effects, including over a dozen outside companies being founded or significantly shifting focus to support the Hull design, such as [[Argo Astronautics]] launching its [[MPUV]] line of short-range cargo ferries.

In 2820, MISC developed a fifth ‘super-freighter’, the Hull E, which has since become the de facto interplanetary bulk goods transporter, with docks around the galaxy moving cargo containers back and forth from the huge ships around the clock<ref name="jp1004MF" />

=== Series Variants ===

====[[Hull A]]====

{| class="wikitable"
|-
|[[File:Hull-A_taking_off_from_Aberdeen_outpost.jpg|center|frameless|256x144px]]
|The [[MISC]] '''Hull A''' is a small, efficient cargo hauler, and is the smallest of the [[Hull (series)|Hull series]]. Featuring a retracting external cargo spindle and powerful engines, this ship has the largest cargo capacity in its size class. Care should be taken in dangerous [[System|systems]] without an escort, as the '''Hull A''' lacks significant offensive or defensive capabilities. Additionally, the Hull A (and [[Hull B|B]]) are often used as surface-to-orbit ferries.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=pledge/ships/hull/Hull-A|text=Hull A Store page}}</ref>

====[[Hull B]]====
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|[[File:HullBConcept.jpg|center|frameless|256x144px]]
|The Hull B is a more rugged option most often compared to MISC’s own [[Freelancer]]. But where the [[Freelancer]] is equipped for long range exploration and other roles, the Hull B is a pure cargo transport.

====[[Hull C]]====
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|[[File:Hull-C_over_moon_-_Port.jpg|center|frameless|256x144px]]
|The middle ground between single-person transporters and massive superfreighters
|}
====[[Hull D]]====
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|[[File:HullDConcept.jpg|center|frameless|256x144px]]
|The Hull D kicks off the larger end of the spectrum with a massive ship built around a rugged frame.
|}
====[[Hull E]]====
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|[[File:HullEConcept.jpg|center|frameless|256x144px]]
|The ultimate edition of the Hull series. A ship so massive it requires proper planning and preparation for the trips it will make.
