Argon Mercury Tanker (TS)

Mercury is the latest addition to the Argon Merchant Fleet, and it is a worthy successor to the Argon Lifter. Armed with an aft turret for defensive purposes, and increased shield space, the Mercury is more than capable of defending itself. Argon shipwrights that developed this craft were more than proud when the first ship rolled off the production line at Argon Prime.
