<b><u>Imperial Civil Engineering 'Shandu' Type Light Freighter</u></b>
<i>Medium Transport, Axe-tail Star Empire</i>

This 300-meter ship is the Imperial Civil Engineering 'Shandu' Type Light Freighter. Fast, agile, and with enough defensive armament and shields to handle just about any pirate, it was designed to resupply Axe-tail bases during the Valeeid War about two hundred years ago, when enemy raids destroyed many shuttles in ambushes along the major trade routes. Although the cheap automated shuttles were somewhat expendable, the warriors and matériel they carried were anything but. Therefore, the Light Freighter was built and equipped with point defense weapons.

The model was designed by DarthKev from the Ambrosia forums, hence a slightly different style (visible edges and untextured color). I took his design and added lasers and insignia.
