The cargo ships carrying goods through Yaeger space have been faced with constant harassment by Imperial fighters, and have had to avoid the occasional capital ship on blockade duty. The ship that has proven most effective under these conditions is the Operion 949 Medium transport. Heavily armed and agile, the 949s are among the most common ships in Yaeger controlled space. Their major drawbacks are their limited cargo space, and high cost. If the Yaeger Nation ever allows export of starships, these craft could make very effective pirates and smugglers.

The charge torpedo tubes are capable of dealing with just about any of the charge torpedoes made by the Yaeger. The stats listed are for Flow-18 torpedoes, a fairly common model. As with all charge torpedoes, the Flow-18s produce a high energy plasma field around them when fired, producing the characteristic energy glow of a charge torpedo. As primitive examples of the breed, Flow-18 missiles do not do all that much damage.

Note: The cost listed is in a theoretical situation, where the Yaeger ships are available without restriction. In most scenarios, they should not be available at all, or at incredibly inflated prices.
