Description: In order to meet commercial mining needs in the Unknown Regions, as well as meet his its interests, Invictus Aeronautics created the mass-produced Shen-Ru class to make bulk ore runs throughout the Unknown Regions and along parts of the Corellian Trade Spine and the Sanctuary Pipeline. An ugly, squat looking ship, the Shen-Ru is popular for its durability and ability to be modified. Most major parts such as the hyperdrive and armaments are easily able to be replaced, and more street-smart citizens of the galaxy will note that there is room for hidden compartments, making this ship an option for a successful smuggling operation.

The main selling point of the Shen-Ru class is its innovative cargo hold which makes use of cyclonic vacuum technology to both increase the amount of ore that can fit in the hold by reducing air pressure by 20% as well as sort mineral ore from useless space rock. This makes the Shen-Ru class a top tier ore transport ship.

Knock consumables down to around 6 months and I'll approve this. Most ships in the year+ range are military and I can't see a reason any company would want a crew of theirs taking three years to deliver.
