Description: Bane to unsuspecting raiders, the Orinthar is the main Drazi commercial transport. Found all over the Freehold and the League territories in vast numbers, the sleek and durable transport is the Drazi’s best recourse for protecting their commercial investments. Thickening the armor and attaching a subtly designed ‘light’ laser cannon on its nose, the Orinthar can not only carry several tons of cargo from one place to the next – even making planetside landings – but can also give a pretty rough time to any raider fighter unlucky enough to get in front of it!

Drazi merchants and cargo runners seek out the Orinthar for its general safety and reputation for dissuading petty hijackers and raiders. It is considered a worthwhile expense and several companies in and out of the Freehold swear by them. The added ability to withdraw the laser cannon into an internal compartment means that the Orinthar is also useful for trade in peaceful areas as well – or simply to be used for the utter surprise of a foolish ship-jacker!
