What to know
The Syulen is Gatac Manufacture's agile Xi'an light freighter. On the Syulen, an easy-to-use cargo hold lets one pilot learn loading, delivery, and everyday ship ownership.
Syulen specifications
Loading and turnaround with the Syulen
The Syulen combines the external cargo mounts with loading access and a clean turnaround so the crew can move freight efficiently at both ends of the route. Three external racks each carry two 1-SCU containers for 6 SCU of freight, while a separate 0.25-SCU compartment holds personal equipment. A dedicated living area with a bed, bathroom, and seating supports longer trips.
Move cargo through the Syulen
For the Syulen, an easy-to-use cargo hold lets one pilot learn loading, delivery, and everyday ship ownership.
Development note: The Syulen is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.21.1. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Plan around the hold and its doors
The Syulen pairs the external cargo mounts with the access and handling equipment needed to move freight from the first container to final delivery.
Three external racks each carry two 1-SCU containers for 6 SCU of freight, while a separate 0.25-SCU compartment holds personal equipment.
A dedicated living area with a bed, bathroom, and seating supports longer trips.
The components of the ship can be easily accessed internally, eliminating the necessity for extravehicular activity (EVA) for repairs.
The hold's shape and access points matter as much as its total cargo capacity.
Ramps, lifts, clamps, or tractor beams determine how quickly the crew can load and secure freight.
Cargo carried the Gatac way
The Syulen carries its freight on external mounts instead of hiding a small hold deep inside the hull. That unusual arrangement keeps loading visible and accessible while the vertical landing posture and Xi'an-inspired interior give the starter ship a character of its own.

Match the load carried by the external cargo mounts to the container sizes and equipment available at both ends of the Syulen's route.
Keep the load carried by the external cargo mounts restrained, balanced, and clear of the access the crew still needs.
Arrange the load carried by the external cargo mounts in the order the destination can receive it so unloading stays straightforward.
Starter Freighter in action
The Syulen earns its place on a cargo route by matching the load to the hold, using the external cargo mounts well, and making the unload as deliberate as departure.
-
Let the destination shape the load carried by external cargo mounts
Contract value, container size, route risk, and port access all belong in the Syulen's loading plan.
-
Place cargo carried by external cargo mounts in delivery order
A clean freight load uses the Syulen's access points without blocking controls, doors, or crew movement.
-
Secure the Syulen's load without blocking access
The Syulen's operator watches clearance and access around the external cargo mounts while loading, transit, and unloading remain part of one job.
-
Inspect the Syulen's freight equipment after delivery
The next contract begins with the Syulen clear, inspected, and ready to receive another manifest.
The Syulen, from loading to delivery
The Syulen uses its external cargo mounts to keep cargo moving from loading and secure transport to delivery at the destination.
The Syulen's agility provides the acceleration and control needed for multi-role work.
Three Size 3 guns and three missile racks carrying four Size 2 missiles each give the Syulen capable defense on independent cargo routes.
Cargo reaches the Syulen's usable space through access that has to remain practical at both ends of the route.
The crew protects cargo without turning the Syulen's hold into an obstacle course.
Loading the Syulen for a clean delivery
Freight stays manageable aboard the Syulen when the pilot protects access, balance, and the unloading order.
Load the Syulen in the order the cargo must leave
The Syulen crew plans the external cargo mounts from the first lift through the final unload, keeping access clear along the way.
The manifest must fit the Syulen's doors, loading equipment, and unloading plan at the receiving port.
The loading order keeps the Syulen's access routes clear and prevents the first delivery from being buried.
The Syulen leaves the receiving port ready for another load, after old freight is removed and damaged restraints are replaced.
