Outer Rim Syndicate - Hestia Liner
  
The Hestia originated as an Denoran-class heavy hauler constructed to carry resources from mining facilities to ORS mobile factories and shipyards. When the Syndicate decided to execute Operaton Moyses, over a dozen Hestias were rapidly retrofitted to house vast numbers of refugees from evacuated colonies and space stations. With storage facilities replaced by living decks and a botanical deck added above the main systems, the Hestia became a mobile city with a population of five to eight thousand and a space garden producing food and other supplies for the Exodus Fleet. Protected with three layers of reactive armour plates known from the Tychicus and Vitalius frigates and additional anti-bomber defensive turrets, the Hestia proved to be tough nut to crack for Shivan bombers. Despite its defensive capabilities, due to their importance for the fleet, they hold posistion at primary staging areas and are the centrepieces of Escort Fleet's defensive strategy.

Tech Room Description

Outer Rim Syndicate - Hestia Liner

The Hestia was originally a civilian star liner designed to transport several thousand passengers from one star system to another. When the Syndicate decided to execute Operation Moyses, over a dozen Hestia-class liners were rapidly retrofitted to house vast numbers of refugees from evacuated colonies and space stations. With one of the decks retrofitted into a massive hydroponics bay, the Hestia transformed into a mobile city able to sustain a population of up to eight thousand people and became capable of producing food and other supplies for the Exodus Fleet. The Hestia was also modified with three layers of reactive armor plating as well as several anti-bomber defensive turrets as part of its retrofit. Due to the necessity of protecting the civilians onboard, the Hestia liners (as well as the Abraham-class colony ships) always hold position at primary staging areas until combat actions are resolved. As these ships hold the majority of the last remnants of the human race, the Hestia liners and the Abraham colony ships are always the most heavily defended ships in the Exodus Fleet.
