Argash-class Trade Escort

This starship was designed using the rules in GURPS Traveller

The Argash-class Trade Escort was designed to accompany merchant shipping in dangerous areas. Its high acceleration give the Argash the legs to get between a merchant and danger, while its tough construction and two Iramda-class fighters are enough to give even the most foolhardy commerce raider pause
