Description

A civilian-use carrier designed to haul cargo across long distances. It has also been designed with atmospheric flight in mind, featuring something similar to a minovsky craft system as well as wings for stabilization. The cargo section under the top part of the ship can be detached in an emergency. It can carry up to six large cargo containers. As it's a civilian vessel, many of these end up being purchased by groups such as mercenaries and converted into a mobile suit carrier, due to its high carrying capacity. In these cases, some systems are removed in order to make room for weapons and other defenses. One of the official variants of the Arroyo-class is the Arroyo-class refit.

The Arroyo-class is most prominently used by territories in or around Mars, as well as the frontier areas out past the asteroid belt, due to it functioning as a ship capable of long-term space travel. Many ship owners find the wings or minovsky craft system redundant, and typically opt to not have these included when purchasing the ship to reduce costs.
