With enough credits, anyone can own one of these ships without having to be working for someone else.
- Merchant
- Designed to carry cargo and people
- Privateer

- Research vessels, long range scouts etc.
Private
Private ships are generally those belonging to the upper classes of the empire. Technically these ships could fit under either a commerical or millitary heading but as they are generally useless for anything but transporting in luxury or thrillseeking they are in a class of thier own.
- Luxury Yachts
- These are the ships used for short to medium range transport of the well to do.
- Thrill Seekers
- These short ranged ships are generally very fast, very maneuvrable or very dangerous, to themselves.
- Cruise Liners
- Ships that can often match a small destroyer in size these are the elite roving casino's or luxury cruise ships of the aristocracy.
