Brahmin-class Merchant

Overview

The Brahmin Type N was a common sight on the trading lanes of the former Third Imperium. Tens of thousands of these ships served primarily in the Imperial Core on secondary feeder routes, carrying passengers and cargo to the high population worlds. Hundreds of variants existed, but the most common were mixed passenger-freight models operated by subsidiaries of major shipping companies such as Tukera and Naasirka. One high performance variant, made infamous by its bloody raids against Imperial shipping during the Civil War, is the Chameleon-class Commerce Raider.

Design adapted from the Chameleon stats provided by Richard Perks.
