Slow Freighter
“If it isn't fast, it better be cheap.”
― Soren Van Wyk
Slow Freighters are high efficiency transportation systems designed to move massive amounts of bulk materials around a star system for the lowest possible energy cost. These craft are often entirely automated, and use low velocity but high efficiency drive systems like solar sails or iron systems. Though it can take months or years for them to move their cargo to its destination, schedules are often designed to accommodate a steady influx of materials as they are gradually brought in.
