Sirius is a dangerous place and no one knows this more than the Zoners. Situated on the fringe of humanity's influence, they are in constant danger from various threats. Nomads alone can wreck havoc and stationary bases can often be very weak and easy targets for enemies. This meant that stationary bases could not be established in systems that have not been dominated or at least fully explored by humans.
Yet this meant that many resource rich nebulai and asteroid fields were left untouched and untapped. This is something that the Zoners could not stand.
Taking one of their stationary refineries, they started to turn it into a ship or at the very least, a mobile base. They attached various engines to it in vain attempts to increase the speed of this behemoth but to no avail. The ship simply moved too slowly.
Finally a solution was found. Although expensive, it was the only way to move the ship at a relatively good pace to allow it to escape hostiles. The Zoners used the technology from their Juggernaughts and constructed a mighty engine. Attached onto the main body of the mobile base by 2 great struts.
The expense of such effort would be readily repaid by the resources this base could harvest from dangerous systems.


Essentially a mobile refinery for use in dangerous systems where stationary bases are too much of a risk.
Please do ignore what Wings3D did to the poor ship in terms of graphical rendering etc. I have this issue with a few of my models and it is resolved when textured.
There will also be effects in the centre of the tube and smoke etc coming out of the pipes at the top.
