Miridem-class cargo ship

The Miridem-class is a line of refitted space-faring ships in use with the . They were first introduced as civilian cargo vessels and designated the KV-1213 Supra-Cargo. Having noticed their potential, the ordered a large quantity of ships of the line and upgraded them with Titanium A armor plating, military grade slipspace drives, miniature missile pods, and a small number of .
The class' namesake is the , which was glassed by invading forces during the .
==Overview==
With efficiency in mind, most space freighters are made up of a small crew and maintenance quarter, engines and power plant, and some sort of attachment apparatus, as well as a multiple modular containers that are assembled together to form an "odd-body" hull. Once arrived at its destination, be it on a planet's surface or in its orbit, the freighter is broken down and the containers are transported by rail, elevator, or some other means to whomever their contents are intended for.
The Miridem-class is largely unlike the majority of cargo starships, though, in that it is a single, solid-hull vessel which utilizes very little modularity. This type of design typically allows for a greater cargo capacity, and the contents of the hold can be more easily accessed from the inside, particularly while the vessel is in transit. This design also permits the installation of a number of key features typical of a UNSC Naval craft: protective battle plate, defensive equipment, lifeboat chutes, and a modest external sensor array.
