== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
 
''Variants:'' In addition to minor variations based on the ship's [[weapon]]ry, one major variant has been produced — a cheaper [[Type A1 class Far Trader|A1 free trader]] with a larger cargo capacity. The [[Type A1 class Far Trader|A1 free trader]] is essentially identical in performance with the type A (…from Book 2) but is otherwise similar to the A2. It has only four [[low passage berth]]s, a [[ship computer]] [[Model/1]], and Jump-1, 1-G capabilities. Its cargo capacity is increased to 81.0 tons, primarily through a higher ceiling on the cargo bay; its fuel capacity is reduced to 30.0 tons, and much of the drive room becomes waste space. Cost is [[MCr]]54.5, which still cannot compete with the type A, primarily because it uses a cheaper hull configuration. Nonetheless, some of these ships can be encountered; they are externally identical to the type A2. {{Page cite|name= Traders and Gunboats |page= 27 |version= Classic Traveller}}
