  Unmanned Cargo Barque
  The Unmanned or Remote Controlled Cargo Barque is part 
  of a larger campaign to cement the authority of the new 
  central government of its world of origin. This class of small 
  cargo ships is currently the mainstay of the local merchant 
  navy and small independent merchants.
  By modern standards these cargo barques are downright 
  primitive.  Curiously enough  this is one of  a number of 
  factors that makes the design popular on its backwater 
  world of origin. The ship is easy and cheap to operate and 
  can haul a considerable amount of cargo.
  The Barque has been developed both for long distance 
  missions  lasting  a  long  time  and  comparatively  short 
  orbital operations. The chemical drive can only deliver low 
  acceleration  for  relatively  short  periods  of  time.  Usual 
  procedure is to accelerate for an hour at the full burn of 1G 
  and then drift towards your target until you have to start 
  decelerating  for  a  similar  period  of  time.  Before  this 
  procedure can be repeated for the return trip the craft will 
  usually be unloaded, refuelled and loaded with a different 
  payload. 
  For anything but short orbital trips this means, among other 
  things, that the craft's missions will usually last weeks at a 
  time, if not more. To not burden the ship with live support 
  systems  capable  of  running  reliably  for  such  extended 
  periods of time it was decided to remote operate this ships. 
  This has the desirable side effect of keeping operation 
  costs low.
  To make sure the barques can reliably make their long trips 
  they are equipped with two independent power sources. 
  One is a rechargeable battery while the other consists of a 
  large but light array of solar panels. Although the ship is not 
  built to carry crew it was built to hold an atmosphere to 
  make maintenance after its trips easier. The ships cargo is 
  usually carried in a large 40 dT container at the prow.
  While the remote operation of these ships and their low 
  purchase  price  makes  them  popular  with  small  trading 
  companies  they  are  a  downright  nightmare  for  traffic 
  control officers. Not only do they have to deal with the 
  numerous  companies  operating  these  ships  but  the 
  possibility that one of them might get hijacked as well. A 
  situation  that  could  come  about  more  easily  than  the 
  general public is lead to believe.
  Remote Operator:
  The Cargo Barque does not have an actual crew. It is after 
  all a remote operated drone. The operator controlling such 
  a barque usually is based on a space station or another. 
  Sometimes the barques may even be controlled by planet 
  side operators.
  It is not unusual for an operator to control more than one 
  such barque at the same time. In addition control of a 
  barque may be switched from one operator to another in 
  mid flight some times. For an example, if the barque leaves 
  one  planet's  orbit  to  travel  to  another  planet  through 
  interplanetary space.
