Bright Morning-Class Clan Trader (TL11^)
Once a common sight among the Pan-Orion System, the Morning-Class Trader was a favored design of the Yoshida Merchant Clan and several were always being constructed at the Clan's Shipyards in the Gray Titan system. Over two hundred years ago, the ship was renowned for its structural integrity, impressive amount of cargo space, and the reliability of its drive systems. Over the years the Morning-Class Trader has been eclipsed by more recent designs and gradually the number of these beautiful ships traveling from system to system has fallen. The appearance of one is now held as worthy of some shock. "Wow, one of those things is still running?"
The Cherry Blossom is a fairly typical example of an old Bright Morning-Class Trader, of the type often given to young merchants of Clan Yoshida when the family was ready to expand their operations and a young man was ready to try to establish his own command. By the time the player characters arrive, though, the Captain has already arranged for it to have a near-complete overhaul in Garden's Shipyards. He's done what he can to repair any structural damage, replaced the engines with more efficient modern equivalents, and fiddled somewhat with the layout of the ships berths to make room for more passengers. The refitting isn't complete yet, though!
