The Fornorb class Heavy Merchant is a TL–14 Heavy Merchant.

Description

Designed to haul a huge amount of cargo along the mains of the Kline Subsector, these behemoths are built above Kline (Magyar 3012) to efficiently move freight. The passengers are an afterthought and not the real economic concern. It should be noted that lifeboats are not an integral part of the design, although a vast number could be attached to the dispersed hull if so desired.
