Operational profile

Recognition and use

This later armed trader improves the commercial hull to three-gravity thrust, holographic controls, repair drones, a bis computer, three fitted turrets, and laser point defense. It still carries six passengers, low berths, and a substantial speculative cargo load.

The additional protection and acceleration improve survival on dangerous routes without changing the two-parsec jump radius. Higher purchase and maintenance costs demand valuable cargoes, but the ship is far less dependent on escorts than the earlier merchant variants.
