Type S Scout/Courier (Civilian Starship)

This is the earliest version of the venerable Type S design. The maneuver drive is standard grav, which means that performance falls off to 1G thrust beyond deep gravity wells. No grav plates or inertial compensators are available at TL9, making this vessel uncomfortable for the crew. A bay for a four displacement ton vehicle is provided, but no vehicle is included in the cost below. A fuel purifier is included, and fuel tankage is sufficient for two jumps.
