Merchant R-EU12 Maru MCr113.7
Built on a 500-ton unstreamlined hull, the Maru-class Merchant is a reasonably-priced frontier trader. It is equipped with the Gayle Field type 52 jump drive, the Banshee Gravitics B1.8 maneuver drive, and the Karuniin E2+e power plant, giving performance of Jump-2 and 1G acceleration. Fuel tankage supports one jump and one month of operations. On the bridge is a Model/2 computer. There are five hardpoints, with three single turret beam lasers and two empty single turrets standard. One vehicle is carried: a 20-ton launch in its own hangar. Cargo capacity is 199 tons.
The Maru is a flexible design. Shipbuilders in especially troubled areas typically build hulls with a second layer of armor, and a little less cargo space. Owners will also change out the armament load.
The ship requires a crew of 3: Pilot/Astrogator, engineer, and a medic. A steward and gunners may be added. It can carry up to 14 passengers. There are 14 low berths.
Details: the upper deck contains the bridge, computer, low berths, and the bulk of the crew's staterooms. The lower deck houses the lounge and galley, the bulk of the passenger staterooms and the lifeboat.
