Maru-class Merchant

Overview

The Maru is a popular TL-13 design common to many frontier regions of the former Imperium. She boasts both heavy armor and armament, and a good sized cargo bay. The Maru remains popular BTC, though mostly in the Thinrim and among the Mortal Coil states of Foreven and Beyond Sectors.

Based upon the original design in Adventure Ships 1 by J. Andrew Keith. Adapted from CT stats provided courtesy of Christian Mcdonald-Kelley.
