The Wagner class close escort is in service with the Sacnoth Navy (in the Sword Worlds Confederation). A few of the ships have been sold to Sword Worlds space mercenary units as privateers, but the Wagner is not popular in this service due to the limited cargo and accommodation space, which makes carrying loot, prisoners, and prize crews difficult. Like all military starships at this tech level, the Wagner is handicapped by the large fusion plant necessary for high performance. In the trade-off determination, the design team of the Wagner elected to retain a high endurance at the expense of cargo space, accommodations, and fast fuel processing. This is a reasonable decision for military use, but did limit the sales to private concerns anticipated by the navy as a source of extra revenue. Similar vessels can be found in the Vargr Extents, and among the lower tech worlds of the Imperium.
