''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. Even [[amber zone]]s and [[red zone]]s are not considered off limits by its captains, provided there is profit to be made and the risk of being caught is slight. {{Ludography cite|name= Traders and Gunboats |page= 23 |version= Classic Traveller}}
