Civilian Shipping

Tom was looking for some civilian liners. A good model for this if you
can latch hold of it is the Subsidized Merchant (Class-M?) from the
old Traveller line. It has the look of a fair sized FT liner. In fact,
it is a liner/cargo hauler hybrid which probably more accurately
reflects the type of ships likely to be deployed in the GZGverse. Only
in the core itself can I see large scale dedicated liners.... and
there they would have good UN coverage.

An interesting one might be a Falklands-in-space type scenario where a
major power has impressed a cruise ship as a troop carrier (quite
likely as big ass troop carriers probably are too expensive to keep
around for little normal day-to-day usage, and you might need one in a
hurry) a la Queen Elizabeth II. Stick on a few defensive systems, an
escort group, and off she goes. Would make for some good scenarios for
FT.
