Hikari
General Transport
The Hikari class general transport is a rugged and affordable entry-level ship for aspiring captains. Though they are produced and sold by the Sendai Corporation (a front for the notorious House Suyama crime family)¸ the ships are legal and a good value - just be careful if the salesman offers financing at rates that sound too good to be true.
The Hikari line consists of two variants¸ each named for a breed of Koi. The Hikari Utsuri is the standard configuration. It includes a sizable cargo bay and a couple of cabins for potential passengers. There are bunks for a crew of two to six. The Hikari Muji replaces most of the cargo hold with additional passenger cabins¸ bringing the total ship's complement to five crew and a rather crowded eighteen passengers. Both versions are sturdily built at rock bottom prices. There is nothing cutting edge or deluxe to be found here - though the craft are easy to upgrade or customize as money and time allow. Map pages are provided to represent either variant.
The Hikari package contains three highly detailed¸ layered PDF files:
• Main Book
