The Schwilca-4 rocket from my Star Trek Lower Decks fic Surviving Schwil. It shares a propulsion bus in common with the several cargo rockets which travelled in constellation with it, but it's the only one that also has to be able to return to the Ocean after the mission is done.
Fishers are semi-aquatics which need to have regular contact with water in order to stay safe and healthy, so artificial gravity to corral that water to allow for pools baths and showers is a must. Schwilca-4 spins to generate the roughly 0.3 G gravity of the Franzwi landing site. Other Schwilca missions targetting regions with different surface gravities (since Schwil is a rapidly rotating whirligig world) have different cable lengths.
