History & Background

The free trader is an elementary interstellar merchant ship plying the space lanes carrying cargo and passengers. [2] The Type A becomes a popular cornerstone of interstellar commerce by the end of the TL:7-9 technological epoch in Vilani society. It is continually upgraded by the Vilani Bureaux. It is near ubiquitous throughout Vilani Space by the Vilani TL:10-12 tech epoch.
