Kyushu (ship)

Earlier versions of these Terran construction ships were outfitted with specialist disassembly systems that would allow them to dismantle and transport station debris in a highly efficient manner. This focus on tearing down existing structures came about as the result of the arduous task of clearing the space around Earth from the debris of those parts of the Torus Aeternal that did not drift far enough out of their original orbit. Since that clean-up work is now winding down, more recent examples of this ship model have been built without such capabilities, to save on production costs.
