Description (Specifications)
Using a 6000-ton hull, the K'kree merchant is typical of most commercial starships in the Two Thousand Worlds, and is frequently encountered as a vessel operated by a merchant family-it is a standard mustering-out benefit for some K'kree merchants. It has jump drive-2, power plant-2, and maneuver drive-I, giving a performance of Jump-2 and 1-G acceleration. Fuel tankage of 1320 tons supports the power plant and allows one jump-2. Adjacent to the bridge is a computer Model12. Accommodations for up to 80 individuals are available. There are 12 hardpoints and 24 tons set aside for fire control; no weapons are initially mounted. There are no ship's vehicles. Cargo capacity varies with crew size; 34 tons are always available, plus 48 tons per individual not carried on board. The ship is unstreamlined.
The merchant requires a crew of six: pilot, four engineers, and medic; retinues of these individuals can provide needed technicians, gunners, servant and stewards, etc. A total of 74 family members or passengers can be carried. The ship costs MCr2322.18 (including 10% discount for standard designs) and takes 33 months to build.

Access to the drive spaces is exclusively from above. The living quarters area is 6 meters high.
