Tradesman

Tradesman A tradesman was a very common spelljamming ship found in Realmspace and surrounding crystal spheres.

Description
A tradesman was a small, fish-shaped ship. Its spelljamming helm was located on the aft section. It could be either above its gravity plane, or, in dangerous situations, be flipped upside down. A ship needed a minimum crew of ten individuals in order to work properly and could support a maximum compliment of 25 creatures without compromising its air supply.

Tradesmen were short-ranged vessels typically employed by merchants in interplanetary travel. Slightly modified, more heavily armed versions were also frequently used as pirate ships that preyed on other tradesmen and galleons.

Tradesmen were relatively cheap to build and easy to maintain. For that reason, they were the preferred first vessel acquired by adventurers and were used by crews of all races, such as humans, lizardfolk, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and even mind flayers and other typically non-spacefaring races.
