Meteor Type VI Freighter

Meteor Type VI Freighter

--

Freighters are the true back bone of the United Stars. Sturdy ships shifting tremendous loads of everything possible from one end of the Union to the other and even beyond. The ever hungry factories demanding raw materials, ore, minerals and other resources. The Union citizens demanding wares and products everywhere they have settled. The combined fleet of Union registered freighters exceeds the number of Fleet ships a thousand fold. There are freighters of all sizes. A typical work horse is the Meteor Type VI from DeNoir. Usually unarmed but with decent shields. Sold to Logistics companies by the ten thousands they are a common sight on every space port. Many are specialized for the freight like: Livestock freighters, Ice freighters, container freight, scrap metal, sludge etc. Meteor Freighters are rarely seen in Ore transport roles as they are to small for most of the Ore trade requirements.
