RSS Longhorn

The RSS Longhorn was a Class Four Galactic Transport formally used by the United Nations Peacekeepers, before being used by the Yung-Su Transports.

History and Building
The RSS Longhorn was built in 2433 by the Royal Ship Company as the first in the RSS-VI series of ships. The RSS Longhorn was to be the successor to the long used RSS Liberty, a RSS-III series ship. By 2435, the RSS Longhorn, originally named the RSS Justice was purchased by the UN Peackeepers, and renamed to the Longhorn. From 2435 to 2479 was used for transport and storage. In 2479, the new RSS-IX class came out, and the Longhorn was sold to the Yung-Su transport company.

Use by Yung-Su
The Yung-Su Transport Company, founded in 2450, used older class III and VI ships to use as cruse lines. After a refurbmishment to be used for personal use, the RSS Longhorn began voyaging in the Uzimaki System starting in 2484. In 2491, it was refitted with a RIVN Mark III Engine, a newer engine salvaged from a class VII ship, and more efficient than the older RYZN Mark V. A small problem was the BWR nuclear reactor was it could only handle an engine power output of 750MV, but the RIVN Mk. III outputs 1,350MV, and put the reactor under stress. With this revelation, in 2493, it only went in the Inner Uzimaki System.

The Crash of the Longhorn
On October 31, 2500, the RSS Longhorn was doing a five-day trip through the Uzimaki System and just north of it. During the first day, the ship began to ramp up speed to 0.75 light years. While trying to speed up, the reactor had a sudden surge of 5000MV, and exploded. The reactor exploded at 14:39 IGT (intergalactic time). By 14:56 IGT, the ship collapsed on Vizen I, 1.5 light years out of the Uzimaki System. Of the 700 passengers, only 8 survived.
