Library Data:Al Morai
Based on Mora, the merchant line Al Morai services the Spinward Marches Sector, with routes to the Deneb and Trojan Reaches. In addition, Al Mora provides service to all worlds in the Mora Subsector, connecting them to the major trade routes.[1]
Al Morai was established in 75 as a local transport company serving systems within 10 parsecs of Mora, the company expanded by 120 to handle freight and passengers on a larger scale. During the third century Imperial, the line established an exploration division to supplement its cargo carriers.[1]
Shirene is owned entirely by the Al Morai shipping line, and serves as headquarters and maintenance facility for the corporation's fleet of cargo ships.[2]
Al Morai is famed for its heavily armed "route protectors", which are warships in all but name. The original route protectors were a mix of military-surplus vessels bought up by the corporation, but the current generation are a class of purpose-built 750-ton vessels optimized for escort of merchant craft – fairly low jump capability but high acceleration and firepower. Crews are recruited from former navy or scout personnel.[3]
