Operational profile

Recognition and use

This 100-ton trader carries four crew at four gravities with a two-parsec jump radius, an autodoc, and a useful hold. An empty hardpoint and fire-control station leave room for later defensive armament.

Normal two-week power fuel replaces the prohibited long-duration cell fit. The result is a compact commercial ship suited to high-value cargo and flexible frontier work rather than bulk freight.
