It is capable of carrying both passengers and cargo, and this coupled with its Jump-2 drives and four hardpoints make it a highly versatile ship. The EAKHAU class Trader is a standard design, available throughout [[Aslan space]], and thus includes a price discount of 10%. {{Page cite|name= Third Imperium 02 |page= 6-7}}
