Type A Free Trader (Civilian Starship)

The basic Type A free trader is probably the single most common merchant vessel in the Imperium. The version shown below can be constructed at TL9, and often represents a planet's earliest efforts at interstellar trade. Lack of artificial gravity systems make passage aboard a TL9 vessel an uncomfortable experience.
