Y class (freighter)

Y class starships were freighters deployed by the Earth Cargo Service in the 22nd century. Y class ships were built to replace the earlier J class starships that had been used by Earth's cargo service in the early 22nd century.

The ships had a crew complement of 23, however this did not account for children which may have been born to the crew members during their long voyages. Y class ships were capable of a maximum speed of 1.8. The eight cargo modules attached to the sides of the ship gave the ship a total capacity of 20 kilotons. The ships came with a single plasma cannon, however most freighter Captains upgraded their weapons as soon as possible as their cargoes made them attractive targets for pirates such as the Nausicans.
