''THE FAR TRADER:'' The basic ship involved in free trade is called the [[free trader]]. Variations on the basic ship have resulted in variations in the name. The [[subsidized merchant]], partly because of its size, and partly because of its subsidy, is called the [[fat trader]]. Some well-equipped high-G traders employed beyond the [[Imperial Fringe|Imperial border]] are called [[fast trader]]s. The type A2 far trader derives its name from its jump capability: its drives are capable of Jump-2, twice what the standard [[free trader]] can do. The [[far trader]] can be encountered anywhere in the Imperium. It ranges far and wide, and deals with every world it finds.

History & Background[edit]

The far trader ranges far and wide, and deals with every world it finds. Even amber zones and red zones are not considered off limits by its captains, provided there is profit to be made and the risk of being caught is slight. [3]

THE FAR TRADER: The basic ship involved in free trade is called the free trader. Variations on the basic ship have resulted in variations in the name. The subsidized merchant, partly because of its size, and partly because of its subsidy, is called the fat trader. Some well-equipped high-G traders employed beyond the Imperial border are called fast traders. The type A2 far trader derives its name from its jump capability: its drives are capable of Jump-2, twice what the standard free trader can do. The far trader can be encountered anywhere in the Imperium. It ranges far and wide, and deals with every world it finds. Even amber zones and red zones are not considered off limits by its captains, provided there is profit to be made and the risk of being caught is slight. [4]

Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities[edit]

The design of the far trader has ship security in mind, and so all passengers are segregated onto a passenger deck. Their access to the bridge and to other areas of the ship is limited. Unfortunately, when a seventh passenger is carried, he or she is berthed adjacent to the bridge. Original specifications did not envision more than six passengers, but the profit motive has led to them being overridden. [5]

Selected Type A Variant Ships[edit]

In addition to minor variations based on the ship's weaponry, one major variant has been produced — a cheaper A1 free trader with large cargo capacity. The A1 free trader is essentially identical in performance with the type A (…from Book 2) but is otherwise similar to the A2. It has only four low passage berths, a computer Model/1, and Jump-1, 1-G capabilities. Its cargo capacity is increased to 81.0 tons, primarily through a higher ceiling on the cargo bay; its fuel capacity is reduced to 30.0 tons, and much of the drive room becomes waste space. Cost is MCr54.5, which still cannot compete with the type A, primarily because it uses a cheaper hull configuration. Nonetheless, some of these ships can be encountered; they are externally identical to the type A2.[6]
