Guiseppe Gyro class merchant
The United Worlds Commonwealth
Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Guiseppe Gyro class merchant is a small merchant design fitted with a TL11 Hyperspace Translation drive. This has given them a somewhat better cargo capacity compared to merchants such as the Maverick class which are fitted with the older TL10 version. Given the economics of space it is expected that the Guiseppe Gyro and similar advanced vessels will largely replace the Mavericks and similarly equipped vessels on most routes.
