Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Minotaur is a compact boarding tug whose grappling arm lets a two-person crew secure drifting, disabled, or resisting vessels. Its small hold carries boarding gear, tools, or recovered evidence.

The tug has no armor, weapons, or jump drive and only a week of endurance. It is a specialized local craft that depends on a carrier or enforcement base to place it near its target and protect it afterward.
