A small and modular stock transport with the ability to be heavily modified by anyone who purchases it.
Though there have been many types of sublight civilian vessels manufactured by Abwehran Imperial Yards machinery, they have all been designed and the manufacturing run by independent companies. The Fresha-class Small Transport was designed by Kaiserlich F&E and manufactured by Abwehran Imperial Yards in order to bolster international transportation and trade.
With the idea of a modular and highly customizable vessel in mind, the design team at Kaiserlich F&E came up with the Fresha Transport. A small vessel, it was created to act as a civilian transport as well as a military logistics craft. It was named after one of the designer's new born daughters.

A small two-seat area that's more like a cockpit than a bridge. Both seats are side by side and in front of one large panel that stretches from the left-hand side of one chair to the right-hand side of the next chair.
Taking up almost the entire fourth deck, the Cargo Bay is a massive 4-foot high cavern of space with a variety of divots and racks that allow for a variety of storage methods for cargo. This is connected to a Large Passageway that enables a variety of ground-based cargo lifters (under 4-feet in height) to enter and unload cargo.
Located near the bridge, the Computer Center is a Walk-in Closet sized room that is completely taken up by a CU-23 Computer System.
A small 'one Bed/one Bath' Quarters that acts as both Office and Living Space for a crewman or Captain. In order to save space, the Bed can be folded into the Bulkheads while the desk is able to sink into the deck via a hydraulic system. Storage space is in the form of a small 3x3x4 closet.
Taking up the entire First Deck of the Disk Section, the Dining Hall/Lounge is a massive room with a circular view of the space around the ship. Set up in a restaurant/bar fashion, it is a place where both passengers and crew can get together and relax while they have their meals.
A kitchen that you would normally find in those small diners, it is large enough to handle the meals of 30 individuals and small enough for one cook to handle.
Located on the Second Deck, the Gym is a small fitness center with a variety of exercise machinery.
A small room located at the rear of the vessel, it is connected to the rest of the ship via a Standard Airlock and is able to open directly out into space. This enables badly damaged reactors to be jettisoned before critical failure.
Located on the Third Deck next to Engineering, the Fabrication Room enables the crew to build spare parts when the need arises. This is normally why a quarter of the Cargo Hold is for ship resources.
Located in Deck Two, the Laundry Room acts much like a commercial Laundromat. Passengers and Crew use the machines to clean their clothing.
Small passageways that technicians have to crawl through, they are large enough for an adult Abwehran male to crawl on his hands and knees.
Located on the Third Deck, the Medical Bay is a small facility that normally houses first aid equipment. A small Surgery room is available, but since it isn't possible for independent business owners to hire doctors the Fresha is equipment with three Stasis Tubes to keep patients stable until the ship can arrive at a medical facility.
Carpeted hallways with decorative lighting and murals on either side, the Passageways of a Fresha were designed to sooth Passengers and Crew a like during the harsh realities of space travel.
Much larger and more decorated than the Fresha's Crew Quarters, the Passenger Quarters are furnished with a couch, recliner, and coffee table set near the entry way. To the far end of the quarters, there is a Queen-sized bed with two nightstands and a chest of drawers on the right wall. The left wall contains the entrance to the Bathroom with a moderate-sized bath/shower combination with sink and toilet (all lavishly decorated).
The Fresha-class Small Transport uses a standard civilian hull and standard civilian frame combined with the former Tri-Layer Armor used by old military vessels.
See:CU-23
The Fresha contains a variety of emergency systems ranging from compartmentalized construction with solid bulkheads to provide protection against breaches to about 8 Escape Pods. There are 4 escape pods located on each deck (Decks 2 and 3) with all of them being located both fore and aft sections and occupying both port and starboard positions (2 on each side).
This compartmentalization also helps in its proclaimed ability to be easily modified to suits the need of a customer.
The Fresha includes the newly developed Artificial Photosynthetic Life Support System created by Kaiserlich F&E along with using the standard Unidirectional Gravity Plating used by Abwehran Ships for nearly two centuries.
The Fresha comes equipped with a Hyperspace Fold Drive to allow them to finally travel outside the Jaspis System. The Transport is also equipped with 2 Civilian Fusion Engines.
The Fresha Transport is equipped with both a Hazard Shield to protect the ship against radiation and Hard Bubble Shield to protect the ship against navigational hazards and pirate attack.
