Subsidized Freighter FK-AS11 Paya MCr 36.5 (MCr 29.2)
Using a 100-ton, TL9 hull, the Paya Class Subsidized Freighter mounts jump drive-A, maneuver drive-A, and power plant-A, giving a performance of jump-1 and 1G acceleration. Fuel tankage supports a 1 parsec jump, at 10t per parsec, and one month of operations. Attached to the bridge is a Computer Model/1. There are 7 staterooms and 24 low berths. Installed weaponry include 1 T1 Pulse Laser. Cargo capacity is 21 tons. The ship has a streamlined hull.
The ship has up to 3 crew, and can carry 5 passengers and 24 low passengers.
