SHIP RECOVERY

ARGO SRV

A tractor-equipped recovery ship from Argo

The ARGO SRV is a single-seat recovery tug built around a heavy tractor rig and a stabilizing MaxTraction plate. It can tow disabled ships, reposition large objects, and support recovery work where the casualty cannot move under its own power.

Field Support

A controlled tow begins before the tractor locks on

The pilot has to understand the disabled ship's mass, damage, attachment point, and destination before moving it. Tractor control, rear-facing stability, range, and a compact habitation space support longer recoveries away from a station.

Working profile

The ship that moves the ship

The SRV is not a repair bay or a medical ship. Its job is to establish a secure tractor connection, control both hulls through the tow, and leave the recovered craft where repair, salvage, or traffic-control crews can take over.

Development notice

Built in an evolving universe

The SRV 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.

Repair systems

Support another ship with the SRV

The SRV carries the Arm-Assist Tractor Rig into the field and gives both crews a clear route from first inspection to a safe handoff.

01

Max-Traction Bullock plate

ARGO's custom-designed tractor plate was developed specifically for the SRV. Its unique specifications include a hydraulic boom and bespoke gimbal mount for maximum flexibility.

02

Crew living spaces in the SRV

A compact living area supports longer recovery trips and gives the crew of a disabled ship somewhere protected to wait during the tow.

03

Extended Range on the SRV

Fuel capacity and onboard habitation let the SRV reach disabled ships beyond the immediate station area and remain with a longer tow.

04

Approaching the client ship on the SRV

The SRV matches movement and communication with the supported ship before bringing tools or transfer equipment close.

05

SRV's operator stations

Dedicated controls give the SRV's support crew a clear view of tool condition, connection, and progress.

Defining feature

Arm-Assist Tractor Rig on the SRV

The rear tractor rig gives the pilot the pulling force and fine control needed to tow a disabled ship or reposition a large object without relying on the casualty's own engines.

AssessConfirm the SRV's service before moving alongside

Confirm what the other ship needs before the SRV brings the Arm-Assist Tractor Rig into the work area.

ConnectHold the SRV and client ship steady through the work

Hold a stable relative position while the crew applies the Arm-Assist Tractor Rig beside another ship.

VerifyConfirm the work before the SRV separates

Confirm the repair or transfer before the SRV withdraws the Arm-Assist Tractor Rig from the client ship.

Assess, attach, move, release

Moving a ship that cannot move itself

The SRV turns the Arm-Assist Tractor Rig into a practical towing service by controlling both the disabled hull and the route it must travel.

01
Assess

Understand the mass, damage, and destination

The SRV's crew needs a safe attachment point and a route that the disabled ship can survive.

02
Attach

Bring the Arm-Assist Tractor Rig onto the casualty

The crew places the SRV where its service equipment can work without creating a second hazard around the casualty.

03
Move

Control both ships through the tow

For the SRV, acceleration, rotation, obstacles, and traffic affect the unpowered hull as much as the tug.

04
Release

Leave the recovered ship stable and accessible

Both crews confirm the SRV's equipment is clear and the casualty is stable before moving apart.
