A-3 Class Fast Trader.

The standard fast Trader type A-3 is used by independent captains known as tramp traders. These captains are on the low end of the food chain on the major trade routes, subsector routes, and system routes, operating such a ship is a romanticised enterprise. The captains of tramp traders are there own bosses plying interstellar spaces in the free traders (A-1), Far Traders (A-2), Fast Traders (A-3), and the Far Trader Empress Marava-class. These captains pick up small freight lots, Mail lots, and serving passengers. A good astute capatain and his crew can make a good living while a bad captain will lose his shorts his ship and his crew and end up in debters prison, a slave, or worse. These ships do have two hard points on them where a weapons can be mounted to the ship. Depending on how many credits a captain and crew have available they have the ability to hide these guns. This class was effectively a stripped-down verson of the ubiquitous Type-A free Trader, the a-3 Fast Trader gives up cargo space in favour of a more powerful manoeuvre drive and greater Jump Drive. This translates not only inhto greater speed but also begger agility. In regions of space where pirates and raiders luk, this extra speed can make all the difference. Though the Fast trader is also popular among pirate forces for the same reasons. Pirate Hunters, and bounty hunters will also use these ships because of there speed.
