Cargo Spaceship
 
 
 The “Copper Bottom”

This is a very beautiful starship design for independent spacetrading. A lot of care has been taken to make sure that it can operate absolutely independently of official starports. It even has its own anti-grav loading cranes and trading areas integrated. With the addition of six heavy duty landing claws it is fully capable of landing almost anywhere, which is very useful when you must innovate and discover your own business and is a design feat we that the spaceship's designer AI is very proud of. The ships AI is very experienced and intelligent, it was integrated for thousands of years in a Lizzarcan starship and knows things about the way the universe works that we organics are never likely to experience.
