Description
The Verne Cargo Sub is an ancient submarine freighter which has been in use since the time of the Terran Alliance. The ship is used to relay freight to underwater sites for major corporations such as Defiance Industries and Earthwerks Inc in the Inner Sphere.
The design's first noted use was recorded in 2289, when a pair of Vernes were used to transport the dismantled Eiffel Tower to Japan on Terra.[1][2]
Equipment and Capabilities
The Verne's air-independent power plants and large oxygen tanks allows the ship to operate for extended times underwater. The design is noted for its nimble handling. However, mechanically the ship requires extensive maintenance to keep it operating.
The ship has two cargo bays. Its primary cargo bay able to hold 3,300 tons of standard cargo. The cargo is accessible from one of its six cargo bay doors (front, pair of doors per left & right sides and single in the rear.) It has second class rooms for up to 40 passengers.
It also has a 200 ton capacity Vehicle Bay which it uses for smaller cargo skiffs or small submarines to relay cargo to non-dockable ports.

As of this writing, there are no published record sheets produced for this design.
