Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Argosy is a four-hundred-ton merchant freighter with Jump-2 range, two-gravity acceleration, four points of armor, and a streamlined hull. Seven staterooms, ten low berths, and a mixed defensive turret let it combine freight with modest passenger service.

A 182-ton hold is the center of the design, while fuel processing supports less-developed routes. Its five-person crew can make a living in bulk cargo, but the ship's single turret is a deterrent rather than a warship's defense.
