Starships are designed with the Classic Traveller format, using High Guard. |
The Rhapsody class Merchant Trader is a commercial starship.
- It is a civilian ship and a Merchant Trader.
Description (Specifications)
Designed primarily as a cargo carrier, the Rhapsody is a common design in known space. Unlike most small traders it comes with weapons fitted on the standard hull. Without the passenger space of other traders, some consider this not to be as flexible a design as a Free Trader. However, some see the extra speed and aero fins as a bonus.
Normal crew consists of a pilot, navigator, 1 Engineer and 3 Gunners (who usually act as cargo crew and additional maintenance crew). The Rhapsody is a standard design and benefits from the -10% cost bonus. This a TL-11 Design.
