DESCRIPTION​

The Nerf-class light freighter is a transport manufactured by the Rekklemat Products corporation. Like most of the goods they produce, the Nerf is based on an old - indeed, very old - design which originated from a different company, in this case an ancient starshipwright known as Starlane Hypernautics. Taking the hull-form and basic interior layout, Rekklemat heavily updated the Nerf's specifications to once again make it appealing to contemporary customers, making it a minor success.

Indeed, the current Nerf-class light freighter constitutes the second time the type has been updated and sold by Rekklemat. This current revival was prompted by a company audit, which discovered a forgotten storehouse on Alsakan, which contained a mothballed production line and some 500 completed hulls awaiting internals. Never one to let resources go to waste, Rekklemat set a team to sprucing up the design with an eye toward finishing the stored hulls, resulting in the current Nerf and a tentative return to mass production following the successful sale of the first 500 examples.

The Nerf is a largely unremarkable freighter, 35 meters in length with a crew of 3, as well as a capacity of up to 75 standard tons of cargo and up to 4 passengers. Speed is an average 55 MGLT, coupled with a class 2 hyperdrive. The ship has a light deflector screen for protection, as well as 2 dual medium laser turrets, one located above the cockpit with the second mounted centrally on the ventral hull.

Since its re-introduction, the Nerf has proven reasonably popular as an entry-level freighter for new pilots, as well as those nostalgic for older designs.

LEGALITY​

Legal. Light freighters such as the Nerf are considered innocuous enough under most jurisdictions, and are not restricted in most systems.

INTENT​

To revive a ship from the previous timeline.
