    Nowhere does the game tell you what capacity ship you'll need for the start of this plot. It is 1350 m^3. If you've gotten the Tuatara ship from the Split Vendetta plot, that will fit exactly. Otherwise any small ship with 1350 or greater cargo capacity will do. There's a 100% invisibility mod if you've done the PHQ research.
