Al Morai World Freighter/Liner

The Al Morai corporation is a mid-sized shipping line based at Mora/Mora in the Spinward Marches. A powerhouse in the Domain of Deneb even before the Collapse, the company's traders, merchants and liners visited most A and B-class starports in the Marches on a regular basis. Most famous of these were the World class Merchant/Liners, a proprietary design built for the company by Bilstein Yards of Glisten. These 1G, j-4 vessels traveled the former X-Boat lines, connecting major industrial worlds with the Imperial mainstream.

The ship is a long sharpened needle in appearance, with some likening it to a swan stretching it neck. The vessel is optimised for use on settled trade routes, and lacks either fuel scoops or fuel processing plants. On a normal run it can carry in excess of 700 tons of cargo (including the shuttle) and 100 to 200 passengers, depending on occupancy demand. The lower cargo hold is a "drive thru" arrangement that allows loading from amidships and aft. A single shuttlecraft is carried for passenger and cargo disembarkation.

Since the Collapse, Al Morai has expanded its base of operations into the remainder of the Regency, often taking over the routes and facilities of competitors bankrupted or destroyed by Virus. Despite this expansion, shortages of new build starships due to higher construction priority on military and RQS ships has prevented the company from building enough new ships to adequately cover these new routes. Many older World class ships had been taken out of mothballs for transport of populations from worlds hit by the Abandonment, and these have been pressed into service as quickly as the Navy repatriate them. Seventy three of these ships are currently in service, with another fourteen older ships working with the Regency Navy.
