==Overview== | |||
===Design details=== | |||
The ''Bactrian''-class has no interior spaces apart from a cramped, two-seated cockpit located to the fore of the craft. The freighter is equipped with an autopilot with a biometric scanner for authentication, preventing anyone but the owners or pilots from using the craft.<ref name="nf5">'''[[Halo: Nightfall]]''', ''Chapter Five''</ref> Due to the tug's age, ''Bactrian''-class freighters lack many modern additional systems, such as trans-optic scaling—an augmented navigational system. The tug is equipped with a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]] that is capable of mid-range travel in [[slipstream space]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | |||
