Dwarfstar Class III Freighter

from "A Doomsday Like Any Other", FASA

Notes - circa 2286:

     Manufactured by Orinco Shipbuilders, a Rigellian company, the Dwarfstar Class of freighters is Orion in design. Small, fast, and expensive, these ships are ideal for frontier traders who need to be prepared for trouble.
     The three models of Dwarfstar Class ships currently in production at the Rigel VIII shipyards are basically similar, differing primarily in armament. The Mark I design was not armed, and is primarily employed in fast courier duty and to carry small, urgent cargoes between worlds where no trouble is expected. Although popular with some Federation customers, this model never won widespread acceptance in the Orion Colonies.
     The Mark II Dwarfstar is a lightly-armed model, suitable for frontier traders who need weapons on occasion, but are still more oriented to flight over fight. The Mark III is much more heavily-armed and shielded than its counterparts. Company literature claims that the ship is intended for trade in hazardous areas, but this model is more commonly used as a raider by Orion pirate bands, and many are in service as fast corvettes or gunboats with the various Orion governments.
