GH-22A Colony Transport
Colony Transports are small independently owned and operated starships that shuttle between remote colony worlds with light cargo, supplies, and passengers. They are ubiquitous in the Frontier, and many colonies would be completely cut off from the rest of the galaxy without their regular supply and cargo runs. Due to their limited Escape pods, the GH-22 should carry no more than 6 passengers. However, many desperate captains have been known to utilize their entire cargo capacity to transport up to 20 passengers, despite the danger. Many captains outfit their transports with legal aftermarket Beam Guns and Shields to protect their vessels from piracy. There is also a thriving black market in illegal modifications for extra protection or smuggling.
