Freighters

Sometimes called fat traders, freighters are the largest, and by far the most common of small scale merchant ships. Freighters gain considerable benefit from offering more contiguous space, and better overall economy. Their size means that they can accommodate much more robust power plants, which provides the sort of versatility that privateers and adventurers like.

Its also true that no one suspects a freighter, or regards them as particularly important, which is ideal cover, if you’re not, in all honesty, being honest.

Tanker

This is a scaled up version of the trader template of the same name. It preserves the same economies, providing a slightly larger, yet still small scale transporter of materials. Just with the trader version, these are also often employed as sleeper liners.
