Revision as of 20:45, 4 August 2019
A Merchant Vessel is a ship and crew engaged primarily in trade and commerce.
- Sometimes, they are referred to simply as Merchants, which is technically the term for the crew of the vessel.
- Merchant Vessels include a spectrum of mercantile ships and smallcraft including A-class, M-class, R-class, and T-class conveyances.
- They are typically operated under the aegis and registration of the Trader's Guild, SPA, and/or a polity's merchant marine force. The term marine is often still used despite the fact that interstellar traders ply the vacuum instead of liquid water seas.
- Vessels under military service are classified as I-class Combat Transports or Q-class Military Auxiliaries (Combat Support Ships).
- Sometimes they are the same hulls with only the mission taskings differing. Many a tramp vessel has been pressed into military service when needed.
- The Supraclass designation is also known as Ship Mission, Ship Mission Code, Mission, or Ship Hull Designation.
- It is a starship supraclass.

NOTES: While standards exist, ship naming standards evolve with time and over tech epochs. Class naming comments are only generalizations and many exceptions exist. Trade is heavily affected by local regulations, the rule of law, and local security conditions. WCS-class vessels are not ordinarily used for merchant missions as they are too large and expensive.

|
Armored Merchant
|
A, R, M and T
|
TBD
|
Any starship used for interstellar trade, and commerce that has been set up with weapon systems for defense.
|
Merchant Liner
|
R
|
TBD
|
Merchant Liners are general-purpose design starships, intended to carry both passengers and freight. They are larger than the Far Traders intended for cargoes over 200 tons and over a dozen passengers
|
Subsidized Merchant
|
R
|
TBD
|
In subsidized commerce, a local government (or a group of several worlds) agree to subsidize the construction of commercial starships in return for their servicing established routes. Ideally, the route will be profitable, and the subsidy can soon be ended. But, even without profits, the route provides a channel for interstellar trade, helping to provide markets for resources and finished goods as well as, enabling people from different world to share their cultures.
Typically, governments expect subsidized merchants to try to establish routes to make at least marginal profits to diminish the government expense burden. Although individual ports of call may not always provide sales at high margins, at least initially, the ultimate goal is to make the ship self-sufficient. Unfortunately all subsidized merchants are not all profitable and these ships may be recipients of government subsidies for years. Governments have to factor in the benefits derived from the established routes against the costs of maintaining the subsidy. This often becomes the deciding factor with somewhat isolated worlds with limited markets.
|
Far Trader
|
A2
|
TBD
|
A Far Trader is a small starship commonly used for interstellar trade and commerce that is capable of jump 2. Hundreds of variants exist. The typical size equals 200 tons.
|
Free Trader
|
A1
|
TBD
|
A Free Trader is a small starship commonly used for interstellar trade and commerce that is capable of jump 1. Hundreds of variants exist. The typical size equals 200 tons.
|
Frontier Trader
|
A or R
|
TBD
|
A heavily armed transport normally doing business with fringe systems.
|
Merchant Cruiser
|
A, M, R, or T
|
TBD
|
A generic term applied to vessels specifically assigned to independent missions, the prime objective of which is market discovery and acquisition, either in isolation or in completion with other merchant operators. Design parameters for such vessels usually include a high level of weaponry and auxiliary boats in proportion to their cargo capacity and all possible back-up systems, along with high structural integrity.
Also called an Armed Merchantman, as merchant cruisers are unusally armed. A starship merchant primarily intended for independent cruising in undeveloped trade areas where high survivability is also a design factor.
