Gate Hauler
| A massive, automated starship tasked to carry the Gates used to establish near-instantaneous connections between star systems. After travelling countless lonely cycles, the Gate would be emplaced in a new system and activated to spew forth an explosion of newcomers seeking resources, data, and experiences to feed the grand culture and economy of the Domain. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
The Gate Hauler is a vast discoverable ship found in the Orion-Perseus Abyss within Abyssal hyperspace. It can be used to place a Gate in a star system of the player's choosing.
The hauler is found orbiting an Ice Giant with Abyssal Hyperspace. The easiest way to get to this location is to obtain the Wormhole Anchor in the Limbo star system (located within the Orion-Perseus Abyss at the bottom-left corner of the map), then place said anchor at the stable location within the system, and finally travel through the created wormhole.
Reactivating the hauler requires 1,000 Transplutonics, some of which can be obtained from a Mining Station found orbiting the planet Hades in the Limbo system. When reactivated, it can be ordered to move to another star system slowly using its Alcubierre Drive (rather than Hyperspace), and may take a cycle or two to arrive depending on the distance.
Once it reaches the target system, the hauler will enter a suitable parking orbit; being nearby when it stops will award 1 story point. The hauler can now be directed to deploy its gate (requires a free stable location), or to move to another system. Once its gate is deployed, the hauler will disassemble itself into a debris field around the gate to be recycled.
