A Vagabond-class Merchant Trader, a common Imperial trading voidship used by the merchant fleets, in orbit of an Imperial world.
A Vagabond-class Merchant Trader is a common, relatively small merchant voidship employed in interstellar commerce by the merchant fleets of the Imperium. A common sight throughout the Calixis Sector and much of the rest of the galaxy, Vagabonds are small, multi-purpose merchant vessels able to transport a wide variety of cargos and even passengers. Popular amongst the poorer Chartist Captains, these ships are unassuming but reliable, and have even been known to mount small broadsides and prow weapons batteries for limited defence.
The Imperium swarms with transport vessels. Millions of these civilian voidcraft plough the space lanes, ferrying pilgrims, ore, fuel, foodstuffs, weapons, materiel, machine parts and luxury goods to untold billions of eager consumers across the galaxy.
