History:
These freighters, among the only larger freighters produced by the Orion Colony Shipyards, the other large freighters purchases or traded from other Nations, are used by many raiders and merchants alike, sometimes used as the strongest ship in operators' arsenals, due to their abnormally strong hulls and medium-range Disruptors, although these ships are obviously not warships by any means.
Some of these ships are refitted for use as Slavers, a slightly more advanced alternative to the older Harvester and Moonrock Classes, and four of these were intercepted and captured by various UFP Destroyers and Frigates working near the Triangle.

Noteworthy Vessels/Encounters: Celestia Marnia; - performed successful freight runs to the Baker's Dozen, unnder the Command of renowned Trader Niles Gresley (2273-2335)
