Plutonic Capybara

The Plutonic Capybara is a salvage ship that operates in the Kepler system. It is 1500' long and is capable of carrying a ship up to 600' long on its external cargo deck. The rounded bow is designed for pushing large debris away from damaged ships while its six drones assist in recovery operations. Two-thirds of the Capybara's crew have been replaced by robots who perform repair work outside on the cargo deck. The ship also engages in limited mining by grappling entire asteroids and bringing them aboard as it would a client vessel.

Using the Plutonic Capybara in your campaign:

The ship could serve as a mobile base of operations for a group of spaceborne adventurers. Alternatively, your PCs could be recruited to find and rescue it if it should go missing. Potentially, a huge asteroid, codenamed SURTUR by the government could be on a collision course with the earth and the Capybara is sent out to either destroy or redirect it. Or, maybe it has crashed onto your campaign world and the party ends up exploring it just like in "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks".
