Solar powered private ship with many Large Cargo Containers.
It appears to have been built from 2 separate ships, connected by 3 rows of Interior Pillars

Defences
Anti Ship Defences
This ship is guarded by 4 Gatling Turrets
- 1 Gatling Turret on the front centre
- 1 Gatling Turret immediately behind the first, facing backward
- 2 Gatling Turrets on either side
Anti Personnel Defences
the ship's interior has no defences
Trap
This ship has 2 Warheads rigged to explode with reverse thrust. One at the front of each side of the ship.
The image to the left shows the Small Thruster and Warhead exposed after removing a Ramp and Light Armor Block. This configuration is mirrored to form the 2nd trap on the right hand side.
If detonated, the Solar Panels will slowly drift away from the remaining ship, and all but the forward thrusters will be destroyed.
Tactics
Approach
As of v1.23 (list), the Gatling Turrets aren't functioning.
So at this time, approach tactics are unclear.

Entry
This ship appears to have been built from 2 similar ships, connected using 3 rows of Interior Pillars.
Left Module
Entry is through a Door in the rear of the module, which gives you access to:
- 3 Large Cargo Containers
- 2 Assemblers (both are incomplete)
Right Module
This module has 2 levels. Entry is to the "ground" floor through a Door at the rear.
The 1st level has:
- 3 Large Cargo Containers (1 of which is incomplete)
- 1 Small Reactor
Toward the front of the ship, there is a small vertical shaft made with Passage Blocks leading to the 2nd level.
The 2nd level has:
- The ship's Cockpit
- 1 Small Cargo Container
- 1 Gravity Generator (behind the cargo container)
Disable
The reverse thruster trap can be disabled by either:
- Turning both offending Small Thrusters off from the Cockpit (thrusters 1 and 9)
- Removing / Disabling the Small Thrusters with a Grinder
Both left and right thrusters are accessible in the same way.
Simply remove the Ramp shown in the "Trap" section above to expose the offending Small Thruster.
When you can access the thrusters, use the Grinder on the Small Thrusters, at least until it is disabled, then you're ready to go.
Alternatively, if you're in a hurry, you can manoeuvre the ship to where you need it by only applying thrust in a forward direction.
This will mean that you need to point the ship away from your destination before you switch on the dampeners.
Salvage
Cargo Containers:
Each of the 5 large cargo containers can easily be raided.
(as well as the 1 Small Cargo Container)
