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.

The K'kree have not taken as readily to spaceflight as have their human neighbors-among their own kind it is still the "madman" who will even submit to work within such a confining device as a spaceship. The Imperium relies heavily on its space lanes and the flow of people and materials between planets; they need thousands of ships to keep moving every standard day. The K'kree, on the other hand, call upon each of their worlds to support its own population; far fewer ships need move between K'kree stars.

But commerce does take place, nevertheless. K'kree merchant vessels carry mostly specialized materials such as exotic foodstuffs and scarce repair parts between worlds. Only in special instances are great amounts of material necessary to keep a world's population supplied, and these are generally taken care of by larger tug-type freighters.

It is their race's claustrophobia which prevents them from taking fuller advantage of ship design technology for their purposes-K'kree ships must be enormous by human standards for two reasons.

Relatively small K'kree merchant vessels are still almost floating cities compared to human equivalents.

The Kr'ghrr class Courier is a TL–12 K'kree designed Courier Vessel.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

No information yet available.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The K'kree have not taken as readily to spaceflight as have their human neighbors-among their own kind it is still the "madman" who will even submit to work within such a confining device as a spaceship. The Imperium relies heavily on its space lanes and the flow of people and materials between planets; they need thousands of ships to keep moving every standard day. The K'kree, on the other hand, call upon each of their worlds to support its own population; far fewer ships need move between K'kree stars.

It is their race's claustrophobia which prevents them from taking fuller advantage of ship design technology for their purposes-K'kree ships must be enormous by human standards for two reasons. First, each K'kree requires considerable space for his personal comfort and sanity. Second, each K'kree actually involved in running the ship comes with a retinue, or family, which balloons the complement of the ship with non-productive personnel.
