Rossi Nante Far Trader

design by Robert W. Ray

During the Final War, factions of the Imperial shadow corps who were loyal to Margaret found their old networks failing them. Desperate to forge new ties as quickly as possible, they decided to outfit several vessels to do their covert intelligence work for them. Finding usable vessels was getting very difficult as well, so they turned to a small shipyard which the "company" had aquired some years before, Seeker Grand Survey, to build the ships they needed. Because of the increasingly hostile situation, the ships were to be twice the size of normal far traders, so they could support more weaponry. But the spooks would not budge on one point. These vessels were to look as much like the Empress Marava class far traders as was possible. Within a matter of 18 months SGS pushed 16 vessels out of the five shipbuilding slips it owned when a daring raid by Lucan's forces smashed the little shipyard. Known survivors of this class include the Rossi Nante now operating in Coalition space, By-Tor operating in the wilds and now believed to be in control of Guild forces, Snow Dog which is belived infected by an unknown strain of Virus, and Ghost of a Chance which was last reported operating in the Regency.
