Overview

Designed along the same line as the Imperial Courier, in the Imperial Navy's Battle Line, the Imperial Trader is a troop transport/boarding vessel.

In civilian life, it does, however, commonly fulfill the role it's name belies.

People venture into space for all sorts of reasons - to live the life they want to live, to make money, impress women, explore the galaxy etc. etc. - This ship will enable you to do all of these things.

Get one as soon as you can.

The Imperial Trader is a military vessel found in the service of the Achenar Empire from David Braben's Frontier game. It is one of a set of three: Imperial Courier (Oolite), Imperial Explorer and this one. These ships have nothing to do with the Imperial Lictor, Imperial Censor, Imperial Qaestor etc from Dictators OXP.

In Oolite various variants of the Imperial Trader exist, some of them outdated while others unmaintained. This page is trying to offer some help for your decision which OXP to install.
