== Description / Specifications ==
 
A generic class of civilian vessel, the Free Trader is a small commercial transport commonly encountered within the [[Distant Fringe]] region.

The Free Trader is constructed using a 200-dTon hull built in a generally cone-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined: the ship is equipped with fuel scoops.
