WHALE
Wide Hull Adaptable Load Envelope (WHALE) Carriers are a class of large cargo ships intended for transporting other ships over long distances. They are manufactured and primarily operated by Intrepid Interstellar Trading Corporation. As these ships require especially high powered Tachyon Drives, it is essentially impossible for companies unaffiliated with Offworld Hydrocarbons to replicate the concept at the same scale.
WHALEs are particularly prominent for transport of ships to and from The Megastructure, as it is practically unaccessible to ships not equipped with Tachyon Drives otherwise. Intrepid Interstellar operates a large WHALE docking spire near the Intrepid Dome, where flights to earth depart roughly every earth week.
