"Hank" is a Stumper class 200 displacement ton Tech Level 10 Type-A Free Trader, it is functionally equivalent to and stylistically identical to the TL 10 versions of the Beowulf or Moraine.
Hank is spelt many ways on its official documents most commonly Ha'nk, but also H'ank, Han'k or even Hank' some times with multiple variants in the same document. no one alive knows the correct pronunciation of Hank as it appears to be from some non-local minor race language that was attempted to be spelt out with Angelic characters.
Hank was first laid down eighty years ago, but was re-manufactured around sixty years ago for some reason not made clear in it's documentation.
Hank is currently jointly owned by the Black Sky Trading Company and Black Sky Freight & Haulage both are subsidiaries of Black Sky Holdings that is itself owned by a consortium of other holding companies and so on, ownership stakes sometimes loop back upon themselves. their are no surviving mortgage documents for Hank and "he" was depreciated to a token residual amount decades ago.
Prior to the just completed annual maintenance Hank had bean armed and was fitted with a model 2 computer, the original model 1 was serving as a backup, the weapons turrets and main computer where striped out and sold off to pay for the maintenance, pay off the overdraft and over a years worth of crew back salaries.
After settling the ships finances and turning the ship over to the yard the Captain disappeared to parts unknown, much like the First Officer/Purser did over three months prior.
