The Empress Marava class Far Trader or Far Trader Empress Marava is a mercantile starship and one of many standard 200-ton Far Trader designs known to Charted Space.

Description

Using a 200-ton, TL–10 hull, the Empress Marava class 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.

It is capable of 1-G acceleration and jump-2. Fuel tankage supports jump-2 and one month of operation, and the ship incorporates fuel scoops and intakes for wilderness refueling. The bridge is standard and has a computer Model/1bis installed. There are two hardpoints, but no weapons are mounted. The ship has ten staterooms (three for the crew; seven for the passengers) and four low berths. A single air/raft is carried (in a fitted hull compartment) for various surface duties. The ship is streamlined, and can land on uneven terrain. Cargo capacity is 61 tons, plus a one ton mail vault.

The far trader requires a crew of three: pilot/astrogator, engineer, and steward. It costs MCr 59 (including fees and the 10% discount for standard designs). [1]

Dimensions: 49.3 meters long by 28.5 meters wide by 8.7 meters high. [2]

Basic Ship Characteristics

Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (...of ten subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary. [3]

History & Background

Remarks: 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. [4]

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. [1]

Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities

Vessel Peculiarities: 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]
