Sundowner-Class Free Trader
design by Lewis Roberts
Pre-Collapse: The Sundowner-Class Free Trader was a
common sight in the
Solomani Confederation. It was
the standard tramp freighter hauling freight on the fringes and
to worlds far off the beaten path. It carried freight and
passengers between the various member states, and between
individual worlds.
New Era: Four of these craft are known to exist in RC
space, all four are owned by
Transstar; the Hokka,
der Krieger, the Zauberer, and the Skakac.
Transstar was able to store
these ships through the collapse, and once contact was made with
the Hiver, they were able to buy new parts, and start flying them
again. To prevent Virus from taking over, the controls were
redone, and an additional engineer is stationed aboard. To make
room for the extra workstation, the engineer's fresher and storage
closet were converted into workspace. The new workspace isn't
very pretty, and the junior engineer on board is assigned to the
"Head station."
Solomani Space: Ships of this class were found throughout
Confederation space, and many are sure to survive in places like
the
Near Bootes Confederation, the
Terran Republic, and the
League of Dingir. See PERI for more details on these Empires. The Terran Republic and the League of Dingir are listed under Children of Earth.
