# Space Freighter - Coleoptera Class
A cargo container and mounting frame combination which was specifically designed for the Coleoptera freighter. This older, modular cargo ship design almost ten times the size of the later Tottenberg Box Hauler, mounted its cargo in the form of individual frames which were attached to huge racks running the length of the ship, building outwards as necessary. Coleoptera freighters proved not to be economically viable. Huge, fuel-hungry engines and this clumsy cargo mounting system dictated many lost hours at docking stations and made these freighters obsolete after only six of them had been built.
This model comes from the **"Stardrifter"** series of novels written by David Collins-Rivera. These podcast novels are available for free at: [https://davidcollinsrivera.com/]
