Scarab-Class 200-Ton Merchant Tender

A Mongoose 2e design. The Scarab-Class Merchant Tender is a TL12 design for J1 routes. The 200-ton ship can carry three 300-ton cargo pods and lug around 4.5x its own displacement. It has four modified crew droids to do the majority of the work under the watchful supervision of the pilot and engineer. It's a quiet and sometimes lonely duty post, but a very profitable one, as the ship nets MCr1.444 every four weeks with three day layovers and 2.8 jumps in that timeframe. The Type III TL12 300-Ton self-mobile cargo pods make this possible as long as similar pods can be loaded while the ship is on the way in.
