Description

Solomani Swordfish merchant class vessels have a streamlined hull optimized to carry cargo, but can carry 12 high passengers, 12 medium passengers, and 10 low passengers. They have good range with Jump 3, but are delivered unarmed, without sub-craft. The large cargo bay allows some flexibility and space for customization.

They are sold as surplus when Crown Lines crews are done with them.
