Description: Built by the Markab to be their primary cargo and personnel transport liner, the Shorab is a large and bulky craft that can house several hundred Markab remarkably comfortably with a few of their personal belongings stored nearby. Ruled by a strong moral code and general avoidance of darker emotions, the Markab built the Shorab for civilian use only.

The Shorab was sold to many outsiders as a cargo vessel; but primarily was sold in great numbers to the Gaim. The insectoid race soon installed a number of weapon systems on board and the Shorab soon lost its reputation as a helpless piece of flotsam.
