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.

Description (Specifications)[edit]
Merchant ships range in size from small 100 or 200 ton Far and Free Trader class ships to large liners and cargo vessels of up to 10,000 tons displacement or more. The crews of these ships are also referred to as Merchants.

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. |

Archetype | Type Code | Exemplar | Remarks |
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.
