Demirel class

The Demirel class was a freighter class of ship produced by Terran Orbital Construction as a part of the Sirius Drive Project. The class of ship was meant to become a comtemporary to the Kieran class and the Sisyphus class freighters that were marketleaders within the Allied Systems Federation.

The Demirel could carry less freight than the Sisyphus, but was generally faster and had the advantage of being able to carry auxillary small craft in its small hangar instead of relying on external docking ports or on-site small craft.

The Kieran could carry less freight than the Demirel, and much less than the Sisyphus, but the Kieran class was the only legally armed dedicated freighter on the market for a long time, until the outbreak of the ASF-K'adurbian War and the mass selling of old warships by the Federation. The Kieran was also one of the faster freighters on the market. Still, the Demirel's lower maintenance costs and good carrying capacity and speed made it a worthy rival for the Kieran.
