The original Seiza-Class Cargo Hauler was developed and constructed by Motoyoshi Fleet Yards in YE 30. In YE 43, the Yugumo Corporation decided on a major refit and continued production of the ship.

In YE 43, with several of the original Seiza-Class Cargo Hauler still in service or in storage, the aged design made sense for a refit. The successful conversion of all of the corporation's stored Ayana-Class Escort into Misha-Class Explorer it made sense begin looking at similar solutions for other models.

With the 1B refit, the Seiza-Class Cargo Hauler would take on a role as a medium-sized freighter now that the new Shuryoku-Class Super Freighter had become the corporation's larger-scale cargo ship. Due to the soundness of the technologies deployed in the original ship, the actual refit would prove to be rather simple, which would reduce the time needed for these workhorse cargo ships to be converted and redeployed from Amatsu-Motoyoshi "Port Hachidori". It was decided that once the existing stock underwent a refit, new ships of the class would continue to be produced by the Yugumo Corporation.

The Seiza-Class Cargo Hauler 1B would have the same appearance as the Seiza-Class Cargo Hauler.
