From publisher blurb:
Midnight Rose is an old, well worn ship that has seen many owners and extensive modification over the years. A common Grendel-class transport, it was designed for light cargo and passenger duty needing a minimal crew (though with bunks for more). After a decade in the hands of Captain Graham Jacobi the ship has been modified and customized dozens of times, but cleaned less than twice. It may look like a derelict from the outside but she has it where it counts. The ship is well armed for a vessel of its size and unassuming demeanor as Jacobi has outfitted the vessel for use as a privateer as well as a transport ship. With improved armor and a turret augmenting the fixed forward guns, Rose can deter casual pirates and add the occasional bounty to smuggling profits.
In addition to the battered and dilapidated Rose, maps and descriptions are provided for a newer model of the same type of transport. This cleaned up variant has a deck layout modified to maximize cargo capacity. Pages can be mixed between the two and a couple of pages with empty rooms (for further customization) are thrown in as well. Either option can support a crew of one to six in a wide variety of missions.
