Loading and turnaround with the Zeus CL
The Zeus CL is built for cargo that has somewhere specific to go. The 128-SCU tractor-assisted cargo hold, loading equipment, and destination access shape the route before departure. The RSI Zeus Mk II CL comes with an expansive cargo area sporting up to 128 SCU of storage. This variant comes with a Size 2 rear tractor beam turret.
Load and unload the Zeus CL
Aboard the Zeus CL, usable cargo space and direct loading access make freight easier to load, secure, and deliver.
Development note: The Zeus CL is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.24.2. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Using the cargo space aboard the Zeus CL
The Zeus CL pairs the 128-SCU tractor-assisted cargo hold with the access and handling equipment needed to move freight from the first container to final delivery.
The RSI Zeus Mk II CL comes with an expansive cargo area sporting up to 128 SCU of storage.
This variant comes with a Size 2 rear tractor beam turret.
A large cargo figure helps only when the doors and clearances can accept the planned containers.
Tractor beams, lifts, clamps, ramps, and port equipment reduce the time needed to secure a load.
The Zeus CL's high-capacity compact hold
The Zeus CL concentrates 128 SCU inside a ship sized for a small crew. Its cargo layout and tractor support are aimed at owners who want substantially more freight than a starter hauler without moving into a large industrial transport.
128 SCU and tractor-assisted loading in a medium hull
Match the load carried by the 128-SCU tractor-assisted cargo hold to the container sizes and equipment available at both ends of the Zeus CL's route.
Keep the load carried by the 128-SCU tractor-assisted cargo hold restrained, balanced, and clear of the access the crew still needs.
Arrange the load carried by the 128-SCU tractor-assisted cargo hold in the order the destination can receive it so unloading stays straightforward.

-
Choose the Zeus CL's cargo and destination
A contract fits the Zeus CL when the cargo can enter, travel securely, and leave without an improvised unload.
-
Prepare the load
Use the tractor beam and grid to secure each container without blocking the unloading path.
-
Keep the cargo secure throughout the journey
For the Zeus CL, the 128-SCU tractor-assisted cargo hold is arranged in the order the destination can receive it, with restraints and working access checked before departure.
-
Complete the delivery
The crew removes the last container, checks the Zeus CL's restraints, and leaves the cargo space ready to load again.
Zeus CL's freight equipment
The Zeus CL uses its 128-SCU tractor-assisted cargo hold to keep cargo moving from loading and secure transport to delivery at the destination.
The ship's generous facilities include a 3-person bunkroom with extra storage, a head, a compact kitchenette/dining area, multiple weapon lockers, a suit locker, and a docking port for convenient ship-to-ship or ship-to-station access.
The Zeus CL carries two forward Size 4 lasers, a ventral remote turret with two Size 3 repeaters, and two Size 4 missile racks loaded with eight Size 2 missiles in total.
The Zeus CL can use its full freight capacity only when the loading path stays clear from the first container to the final restraint.
Every load aboard the Zeus CL needs secure restraints and enough open space for the crew to work around it.
Check the loading route before accepting the cargo
The Zeus CL's cargo run works best when the crew prepares the hold around both the departure point and the final unload.
Keep freight accessible inside the Zeus CL
The Zeus CL's cargo plan keeps the 128-SCU tractor-assisted cargo hold secure, accessible, and ready to unload in the right order.
The crew checks that each container fits the Zeus CL and can be removed without rebuilding the whole load.
The loading order keeps the Zeus CL's access routes clear and prevents the first delivery from being buried.
The Zeus CL leaves the receiving port ready for another load, after old freight is removed and damaged restraints are replaced.
