Space Truckin'
Freight transport! The lifeblood of all modern civilizations and the backbone of the Galaxy.
Trade routes, supply chains, relocation efforts, deployment actions - everything rests on the shoulders of the transport class vessels. Well, within their bowels, but that's a less sexy phrase. Or when they haul larger things externally and have extra engines and hyper drives inside instead, does that become a horse metaphor now? Or an ox pulling a... uhh, that farm equipment before we had tractors, um...
Anyway.
There's billions of transports of literally every size and shape constantly buzzing about the Galaxy delivering perishables, non-perishables that the still existing copyright laws prevent from being printed near the destination instead, and people, who technically count as perishables, but due to other laws get their own category.
Where was I?
So, most of these are fully automated and do very basic food and other consumables runs, and require maintenance maybe once a century at most. Human ones need them once a year, since their hyperdrives don't need a stopover at a charging station, but run the tiny risk of CATACLYSMIC FAILURE BECAUSE THEY RUN ON MINIATURE STARS THAT BY NATURE CONSTANTLY EXPLODE BUT IT'S OKAY THE HUMANS SAY THEY HAVE FAILSAFES AND THOSE ONLY HAVE A 3/100000 FAILURE RATE THEMSELVES AS IF THAT'S BETTER THAN THE BIG FAT ZERO THE REST OF THE GALAXY HAS AS STANDARD!!!
Ahem.
What I was trying to get at is - Humans are nostalgic for a lot of things. Everyone has personal memories and collective history they cherish dearly, but Humans often tend to try and bring it back to life, regardless of the impracticality.
There is this one group of transports, who call themselves the "Space Truckers" and their vessels have...
wheels with tires
let that sink in
no really
actual rubber tires with air-filled liners and everything
in space
and they insist on landing on them
yes they are stupidly overengineered and can in fact hold up a ship that weighs four million tons and the inner liner air pressure is perfectly fine at around 700 atmospheres
because they can
oh and a few of them look like this
but are a lot bigger
like the size of a small city
the biggest tire is 382 meters in diameter
and yes, the biggest "truck" is called Optimus Prime and they blast Deep Purple songs all the time
and no, I don't know if it can transform
they say it can't, but I don't believe Humans when they say they "can't" do something
they always figure out a way to do it
fucking Humans
