Bulk Logistics Vessel
Bulk Unloading System: Unlike conventional Logistics Vessels that unload cargo gradually, the SLM-9 releases its entire payload in a single, controlled operation. Hydraulic deployment arms manoeuvre the entire cargo bed outward, allowing for structured and efficient transfer without manual unloading.
Universal Clamp System: Built for adaptability, the SLM-9’s pincer like grappling arms latch onto ships regardless of docking compatibility. Variable force actuators fine tune pressure, securing a stable hold without compromising hull integrity. Whether resupplying warships or assisting stranded vessels, its clamps ensure critical cargo transfer under any conditions.
Critical Weak Point: The SLM-9’s hydraulic deployment arms are its defining feature, but also its greatest liability. If compromised by enemy fire or mechanical failure, the vessel loses its ability to unload cargo entirely, rendering it useless. A damaged deployment system means supplies remain trapped onboard, preventing fleet resupply and turning the ship into dead weight. While reinforced plating offers some protection, direct hits can buckle the arms, leading to catastrophic failure.
Phased-Out Design: Due to its critical vulnerability, the SLM-9 has begun to be phased out in favor of newer resupply haulers with reinforced unloading mechanisms and modular backup systems. The remaining SLM-9 units are considered outdated relics, still operational but increasingly rare.
