''Gemini'' is a heavy freighter built on a modular spine design. Its primary cargo capacity consists of exterior containers marked [[Gemini Freight]], secured to a central truss running from the bow to the engine cluster. The containers are arrayed in lateral pairs, with eight units mounted to each side of the spine. A raised docking superstructure is located amidships, featuring a top-facing airlock port for shuttle transfers.<gallery mode="slideshow">
