The Red Star class freighter is a variant of the Red Star free trader design. The cost saving measures included in the original design, such as the use of a minimum size fuel purification plant, an enhanced Model 0 computer, and provision for carrying only 18 days worth of full power operating fuel for the power plant, are carried over into the freighter variant. In addition, all accommodations beyond the bare minimum required for the basic two man crew have been removed, increasing the cargo capacity by 702kl. No turrets are mounted on the ship as built, but space has been reserved for later installation. Additional controls would be required if weapons were installed.
