The [[Bremen class Caravel]] is a general-purpose design, intended to carry both passengers and freight along backwater routes in the [[Plavian League]]. Although it can't compete with more specialized vessels, it is well suited for its intended niche: the streamlined cone hull allows the ships to land directly at dirtside [[starport]]s, while the scoops and fuel processor enables them to service even poorly-equipped starports.

The Bremen class Caravel is a Civilian Ship.

Description (Specifications)

The Bremen class Caravel originates within the Plavian League. It is a general-purpose design intended to carry both passengers and freight. These rugged vessels are a familiar sight, working their way along the backwater routes throughout the region.

Basic Ship Characteristics

Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. [1]
