| == History ==
| |
| The Free Trader was primarily designed as a civilian shipping vessel. They were a common sight during the [[Enigma Campaign]] of the 2660s and often had to be protected by Terran starfighters due to their poor protection.
| |
|
| |
| [[James Taggart]] used a specially refitted [[Free Trader]] called the [[Bonnie Heather|TCS Bonnie Heather]]. This vessel was designed to serve as a deep-space reconnaissance vessel intended to spy on the [[Kilrathi Empire]]. It was fitted with special cabins for its crew, multiple data and sensor stations, and prison cells.
