'''Description''': The primary trading vessel of the Vree Conglomerate, even above those of the civilian freighter variety, the Vymish is a cargo business vessel that is armed well enough to travel the spacelanes alone. The idea was to create a mercantile ship that did not have to rely on expensive escorts that could doublecross the Vree, or who might learn too much about the secretive routes and transactions the Conglomerate often makes behind closed doors. Its primary purpose is to take goods and business passengers safely from one place to the next, but if the Vree are in a pinch for a steady attack craft, the Vymish will do.

Few battles would ever be so thick or happenstance for the Vree to call in on the Vymish, but if they did it can handle itself adequately. Armed with several antiproton guns and a single cannon, the armed trader makes short work of small time raiders and spacelane pirates who might be looking into the often classified and expensive cargo of a Spacer’s Guild transport. Should a Vymish fail in protecting its cargo, there is a single failsafe that every trader pilot is aware of – with the flip of a specific trigger under lock and key in the bridge, the antimatter storage capacitor vents into the cargo hold. The Vree would rather take the loss in most cases than risk giving anything to thieves.
