Vessik
The Vessik is the fleet's budget hauler — 30 units of cargo for 200 credits, the cheapest hull a commander can buy outright once the starter Kibby stops being enough. It triples the Kibby's cargo hold but keeps a similarly thin shield, the same 4 points carried by the fleet's own glass cannon, the Drael: a Vessik is built to move more, not to survive more.

Role in the fleet
At 200 credits, the Vessik is the cheapest way to move meaningfully more cargo than the starter Kibby, well below the 300-credit Molvath and the 1500-credit Torvan further up the hauling line. Station trading covers what a hold this size is actually for: buying low at one station and selling high at another. What it does not buy is protection — shield 4 and no weapons make an escort worth having before a Vessik runs a route through contested space.
More hold, same fragility as the fleet's glass cannon — a Vessik earns its keep by never being caught, not by surviving the fight.
