The Caterpillar Best In Show Edition from Drake Interplanetary is a large transport ship, it consists of the hull and the detachable[1] command module. It used to have the highest cargo capacity, but has since been surpassed by the C2 Hercules. The Caterpillar is fitted with four ship weapon hardpoints, two manned turrets and two tractor beams of which one is located on the command module. The cargo deck consists of five interconnected modules, each outfitted with airlocks and the fifth with a manned turret. The Caterpillar Best In Show Edition was only sold during the 2019 Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2949.

First introduced in 2871, Drake Interplanetary’s Caterpillar has long proven to be a reliable, cost-effective multi-role vessel, capable of being outfitted for everything from mercantile operations to combat support. Long hailed as a hard-fought alternative to the ubiquitous Hull series, the Caterpillar is a freighter that doesn’t skimp on weaponry or customization.
