History & Background (Dossier)

The Deep Trader is another, rarer, variant of a free trader. Built for areas of low stellar density, deep traders are Jump-3 capable. The Craft Type Code assigned to this class is A3. Since these ships are generally custom-built or produced in low quantities, no standard example exists.
