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.
