Yesterday marked the departure of the recently converted Saud Kruger Beluga vessel Mount Robson on a scientific exploration expedition commanded by one Hans Mueller. After completing drive upgrades in the Maia system CMDR Mueller departed for the Statue of Liberty Nebula which is the first stop on the expedition. Recent market trends have shown that Luxury liners like the Beluga were struggling in the market. In order to increase the appeal of this vessel conversion kits were made available to swap out the luxury cabins with other equipment. With this recent development CMDR Mueller was certain the Beluga would make an ideal long range exploration ship. He stated: "The new conversions allowed us to create an ideal long range batteries included exploration ship. Dual AMFU's, repair limpets, a dual SRV bay, 64t of cargo space, the works! The view from the cockpit really is something and the handling of this ship for its size is amazing!" A veteran of exploration, CMDR Mueller was also also quite happy to trade the spartan and cramped quarters on his old Asp Explorer for the roomier and more refined interior of the Mount Robson. "I am not getting any younger, so having a bit more elbow room and comfort doesn't hurt either."
CMDR Mueller hired the consultants at Coriolis.io, a renowned engineering firm, when customizing the Mount Robson. Engineering was provided by Felicity Farseer, Bill Turner, and Professor Palin. The detailed specs of the final build are shown below.

CMDR Mueller again comments: "I was waiting for the new Krait Phantom to hit the market. It's a fine ship, but once Saud Kruger released these conversion kits I just knew I had to go out in a Beluga." After the Statue of Liberty nebula, Eta Carinae is the next planned stop. Equipment to study powerful O-type stars is on board. After that Mueller was reluctant to share where the expedition will go next. "We'll just have to wait and see" he said a few minutes before boarding the Mount Robson and heading out into the black.
Frontier, I've wanted to equip a Beluga like this for exploration forever. Thank you so much for making this journey possible!
