Cargo ships like this were unique handcrafted pieces and rare sights. Made of recycling scrap yards cheap spare parts, they were not safe or reliable but allowed their owners to make a living.

FWIW, the best were safer and more reliable than the best the corps had to offer. Designers kept it simple and because they had to. A well-designed ship and a mediocre mechanic (or mediocre ship with a good mechanic) could keep you going forever.
