Box Engineering Specifications
- þ: 16,000,000,000W
- Mass: 25,000,000kg
- Length: 400m
- Max Acceleration: 35.8m/s/s
- Propulsion: 18 Merlin Engines
- Special Feature: The Great Leap Forwards
- Crew: 8 (Command: 1, Engineering: 2, Flight: 1, Marine: 1, Other: 3)
- Ship Design Focus: Adaptable Manufacturing. The boxes always are self-sufficient but are designed to work as part of joined formation of 8, so much so that a unit of 8 is considered a single ship. As resources are shared across the 8, 3 of the personnel of each box are of various functions, so across the ship of 64 crew, only 3 will be galley. Combing with a HAAS LatAm Class ship, these two ships can quickly build a turreted defensive wall in an asteroid field.

As portal diameter is energy expensive, the HAAS Chinese ships are the fastest to reach other planets as the boxes can line up line astern. To maximise this, or rather to minimise the width, all ship parts are in a long tube that is only as wide as the engine. The portal speed advantage has made the HAAS Chinese ships the best emergency responders, helped with their manufacturing capability.
Mass is also saved by not having a launch bay flig, however the formation of the boxes can be setup to create one. The crew of these ships enjoy engineering and building things and they often build schools for new Belter communities.
