The Confederacy First movement caused quite the stir on the Galactic Scale, as once unrestricted travel became tightly controlled, and enforced by military warships seemingly overnight. It wasn’t good for business, for anyone. Therefore the Republic Engineering believed that it was their Corporate responsibility to equip the various Spacer’s across the Galaxy with a capable Vessel - designed to get their Cargo, or Passengers to one side of the Galaxy to the other in record time. Whether or not their Route carried them through Confederate Blockades was not for Republic Engineering to say.
They merely provided the means in which to swiftly, and safely transport Goods from one point to another.
This capable Vessel was outfitted with many of the advanced systems that have become standard amongst many Republic Engineering designs. As such, the Sumpter was equipped with a heavily automated and networked computer system that significantly reduced the Organic Crew Complement, and increased the Ship’s handling efficiency. In addition to this, the Transport had an integrated Countermeasure suite that was comparable to Military-grade systems, that all worked together to ensure that the Ship’s systems remained within authorized hands.
In addition to the multitude of systems that were woven into the Sumpter, the Bulk Frigate came with an externally mounted cargo apparatus that would ferry massive containers on the ship’s external structure. This meant that pre-loaded containers could be easily ferried from one location to another, and be dismounted or affixed with little issue. However, this posed to be quite the issue when pirates or malcontents were involved - as they could disable the ship and disconnect the Sumpter’s cargo with relative ease.
But, as the Corporation saw fit to outfit the vessel with a reinforced ionic shield - it was highly unlikely that simple pirates would be capable of disabling the Bulk Frigate.
