Euphrates River class (Upgraded) bulk carrier
The United Worlds Commonwealth
Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

Only a few of the old Euphrates River class of bulk carrier underwent an upgrade of electronics systems and also the replacement of the old Ariel and Icarus class shuttles with more modern types. Of these most are now laid up awaiting disposal as they are unable to compete on an equal footing with the newer TL10 cargo carriers.
