Operational profile

Recognition and use

This 300-ton modular merchant balances a large cargo section with four passenger rooms, an emergency low berth, a medical bed, a vehicle bay, and one mixed defensive turret. A two-parsec jump radius and three-gravity maneuver suit independent frontier trade.

Its limited weapon fit and light armor discourage deliberate combat, while modular volume lets an owner change the revenue mix over time. The ship is most effective when its hold is kept full and its passenger service remains secondary to freight.
