Cornucopia-class

While tensions between political entities simmer, trade continues unabated. Most supply ships are owned by private companies or contractors, aiming to maximize profit by delivering the right goods to the right place at the right time. While life aboard a supply ship may seem like pedestrian work, delays in supply runs may result in civil unrest, which can be dangerous ---and even occasionally lethal--to supply ship crews. Profit margins can be thin, so these ships need to operate at peak efficiency. For those in the business of trade, the Cornucopia-class supply ship is the best you can find.

The Price of Ability

Travel in space can be hard and long, so there are rules and policies in place to ensure the safety and comfort of those who choose to make that journey, especially for nonmilitary vessels. More importantly, the long journeys make it difficult to transport goods from one place to another— be it a station or a planetary body. That’s the job of supply ships—to fill their cargo bays to the brim with the demands of others and transport them across the system.
These huge supply ships ply the space lanes from Earth to Saturn. Although massive, these freighters tend to carry food and luxury goods rather than ice or large-scale construction materials—those are left to even larger ships. They often have a standard route: picking up food and supplies from Earth, winding their way through The Belt and to the Outer Planets, then restocking foodstuffs at Ganymede for the return journey. They often have a small amount of space set aside for passengers, although most prefer faster ships to the plodding and meandering pace of a supply ship
Some corporations prefer to cut corners and refit older model vessels of cheaper quality for their supply ship fleets, but the Cornucopia-class is the best money can buy, with many owners finding that their speed and reliability outweighs the cost-cutting. These ship classes are especially favored by luxury good distributors, such as Amalthea Ambrosials and several subsidiaries of Mao-Kwikowski Mercantile.
