Hangar: None
Special Features:

- Advanced Medical suite, with IM-6 medical droids
- Omnicompatible docking ports
- Communications array

Speed Rating: 8 (when not towing anything; it's obviously slower as the ship tows anything)
Hyperdrive Class: 2

Strengths:

- Highly modular
- Can tow ships up to cruiser size (although ships beyond 600 meters would require more than one ship to tow)
- Advanced medical suite
- Can pick up distress signals on a wide range of frequencies at a long range

Weaknesses:

- No point-defense; requires escort to be used on the battlefield
- Limited maneuverability

Description: With its advanced medical suite, the Tofolk class can provide care to ships and stations that send out distress signals. Its advanced communications array allows the ship to pick up distress signals on a wide range of frequencies at a long range for search and rescue. In addition, with its omnicompatible docking port, it can extract people from virtually any kind of starship or station. But, as with all Ringovinda StarYards products, the can be configured for anything ranging from a hospital ship to a heavy tug, but also as a cargo ship or a passenger ship. As a haulage ship, the is sold as the Tofolk-class medium freighter.

Consumables: 6 months
Crew: 4 (pure freighter configuration) - 50 (hospital configuration)
Passengers: 200 (in hospital configuration) - 600 (pure passenger liner in shuttle service)
Cargo capacity: 300 tons (hospital configuration) - 7,500 tons (pure freighter)
Development Thread: If necessary
Intent: To provide a ship for search-and-rescue operations that can be customized for non-ambulatory use
Who Can Use This: Anyone
Primary Source: Ship chassis canon but fictionally produced for another role and to a different size such as seen in the Star Tours ride

- Can tow ships up to Star Destroyer size (although ships beyond 1,700 meters would require more than one ship to tow)

In groups, this might be possible, as it would be for any number of ships equipped with a tractor beam projector. I could maybe see a single one of these doing this if this was a dedicated tug[url]. Many of the larger tugs could probably do that, but that's because they've devoted so much of their space purely to engines. This does not seem to have the same focus. I can see this towing ships up to 600 meters long by itself.

With its advanced medical suite, the Tofolk class can provide care to ships and stations that send out distress signals. Its advanced communications array allows the ship to pick up distress signals on a wide range of frequencies at a long range for search and rescue.

These features should be listed in the strength section.

600 (pure passenger liner in cabin configuration)

This looks high to me. If we were to do linear scaling (which gives us a rough estimate for carrying capacity), with the [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lady-class_Luxury_Liner]Lady-class Liner, the C-3 passenger liner, or the Ferryboat liner, we get somewhere between 200-300 passengers. Specifically modified CR70s were around this size and could carry up to 600 passengers, but this is noted as being cramped and not terribly luxurious. If you do go with 600 passengers, I'd like the description to state that this is basically as a shuttle service with limited room and amenities.
