The Coriander class Free Trader is a standard Imperial Data Package design, although it is not often built because of its rather unusual 300 ton hull. Most shipyard equipment is specialized for either the 200 or the 400 ton standard hulls. The standard version of the Coriander includes two triple missile turrets and a triple sandcaster turret for self-defense. Fuel scoops are carried for emergency use, but the usual operating practice would be to purchase unrefined fuel immediately upon landing at a starport, and process it while cargo loading and unloading is going on. Common variations on the design include removing the low berths in favor of an additional 270kl of cargo space, and adding a berth for some sort of subsidiary craft.
