The Donald Stewart class armed merchants were built for SIE during an attempt to win an Imperial mail contract on the Glisten-Trin route. Performance of the vessels is still being evaluated due to the disruption in service caused by the outbreak of the Fifth Frontier War. As is common practice with SIE vessels, part of the crew is composed of robots to conserve on accommodation space. Two steward, one engineering and six gunnery robots are carried on vessels of this class.
