MOTH - Standalone Ship

The MOTH (Multi Operator Targeted Harvester) is a medium-class salvager developed by Argo Astronautics for dedicated recovery teams operating in the expanding universe of Star Citizen. Designed to bridge the gap between light salvage craft and full-scale industrial recovery platforms, the MOTH delivers professional-grade tools, expanded cargo capacity, and coordinated multi-crew functionality.

Built for operators ready to scale up their salvage operations, the MOTH combines efficiency, versatility, and durability—making it an ideal solution for structured small-to-mid-sized salvage enterprises.

Advanced Salvage Utility & Operator Stations

The MOTH is purpose-built for multi-operator efficiency:

• Three retractable manned turrets, each equipped with a Size 2 salvage laser

• Pilot-controlled salvage arms designed to break down remaining debris and assist with precision disintegration

• Coordinated multi-crew workflow for optimized harvesting speed

This configuration allows salvage teams to strip wrecks efficiently while maintaining operational control in complex recovery zones.

High-Capacity Modular Cargo Storage

Efficient storage is critical in any salvage mission—and the MOTH delivers:

• Two external cargo grids, each supporting up to 96 SCU

• Compatible with containers up to 24 SCU

• Additional rear cargo lift with 32 SCU capacity

• Rear lift supports containers up to 16 SCU

Salvaged materials are stored in 8 SCU containers, ensuring streamlined organization and easy transfer during extended recovery operations.

With its modular cargo system, the MOTH supports long-duration salvage missions without frequent offloading interruptions.

Functional & Comfortable Crew Quarters

Designed for a crew of four (one pilot and three operators), the MOTH includes:

• Practical sleeping quarters

• Essential onboard amenities

• Efficient interior layout to support both short and extended salvage trips

The utilitarian interior reflects Argo’s industrial philosophy—functional, reliable, and mission-focused.

Defensive Capabilities for High-Risk Operations

While primarily a salvage platform, the MOTH is equipped to protect itself when necessary:

• Custom defensive turret

• 16 Size 2 missiles

• Two Size 2 guns

These defensive systems allow crews to operate confidently in contested or unsecured regions, safeguarding both personnel and valuable recovered materials.

Why Choose the Argo MOTH?

The MOTH is the ideal next step for salvage teams looking to:

• Upgrade from entry-level salvage vessels

• Increase SCU capacity without moving into full industrial-scale ships

• Operate efficiently with a coordinated multi-crew team

• Maintain defensive readiness during recovery missions

With its balanced design, scalable cargo capacity, and dedicated salvage systems, the Argo MOTH stands as a powerful mid-tier salvage solution within Star Citizen.
