"Brought to you Indiastan's Karmatech Corperation, we are proud to bring you the the Avioki all-purpose heavy transport. This bad boy is intended to haul everything from colony supplies to people from one end of the galaxy to the other! Equipped with her own hyperdrive and defensive armenants, the Avioki is completely self-sufficent, and a marvel to behold. Measuring some four hundred meters long, one hundred abeam, and six hundred tall, the Avioki is ideal for high-traffic and high-colume duties. While currently not for export, a Mk.II version will be made availableto the public later in the year."

2 Pulse Cannons

Notes: the Avioki does NOT have artifical gravity; it produces limited internal gravity via acceleration, hence the vertical design. Eventually, the Mk.II will go on sale, the difference being the two particle beam cannons being replaced with another two pulse cannons, and the electromag screens removed. Cheers.
