A fast freighter operating short routes between the Confederate League's core planets, her career under CLPS lasted almost 40 years. Replaced in 2235 by more efficient cargo ships, the Aoyama was sold back to BC Inc, and still operates non-commercial routes under the latter company's colors.

Here, she is bearing a BC Inc color scheme.

The Aoyama (Named after Motoko Aoyama, again, from Akamatsu's "Love Hina") is another result of my developing of the MASS system. She incorporates a system to carry standard train containers, as well as a system to carry Wegmullerian containers, as seen in MASS link.

The ship is largely a useful rebuild of the Springfield, an open hull freighter. However, the Aoyama can actually carry 6 Wegmullerians and 32 train crates while the Springfield was generally incapable of carrying anything, unless it was in theory. One can see the evolution of the MASS system between the two ships.

The Aoyama thus clocks in at 170 studs in length, though almost 100 of those studs are from the ship's cargo modules, and about 45 studs in width. Her engines come almost directly from the engines in my MASS demonstration, as do the front two cargo elements. She also has fully functional landing gear, and limited swooshability due to the cable tensioning the two ends.

I have not actually tried to load all 6 Wegmullerians and 32 train containers on the ship.
