IISS trans-rift couriers

Near the end of The Great Rift - Book 2 - Reft, it mentions that the IISS has special trans-rift couriers it uses to cross via the Islands in 10 weeks.

They are described at 800-ton Jump-4 vessels which carry extra fuel for an extra jump-1.

This description seems pretty specific which makes me think there is a particular ship being referenced but I can't seem to find one that would fit.

Does anybody know what this ship is and where I can find the ship plans? Was an actual ship ever even designed for this or it is just a bit of fluff in the description?
 
I don't recall seeing something like that, but one ship that comes close is the Armstrong-class exploration vessel from the Great Rift boxed set. It's 1000 tons, has jump-3 capacity, and fuel for two jumps.
 
I suspect it was just a bit of fluff, but its a fun concept so I've gone ahead and built one matching the specs in the book for you.
