The Cappellan Free Merchants' stock light freighter, and its most common merchanter, is slightly smaller than the Frontier's Pacific-class, with comparable performance.

The Dawn Trader served briefly as the Flight's first warship, until its shortcomings forced the Flight to build the Springblade-class patrol combatant.

The first human CFM shipmaster, Maria Craig, owned a Dawn Trader named the Rules of Acquisition.

The Rules Of Acquisition primarily travels along the Klaeok-Zebulon-Truane's Star-Dixon's Star-Cassidine astrogation route, ostensibly running cargo and providing armed escort. However, Star Law suspects the RoA and its captain of acts of piracy against Streel and PGC transports plying the star lanes between Klaeok and Cassidine.

Also, a ship similar to the description for the RoA has been spotted running weapons and interdicted tech to the Boon'Sheh on Larg, and engaging Humma fighter craft on several occasions.

So far, however, these allegations remain unproven.

Like the Dawn Trader-class, the Tanstaafl-class bulk freighter serves as an auxiliary warship for the Flight, as well as a bulk cargo hauler, hence the relatively heavy armament. This class has also seen service as troop ship in the Rim and several are currently on station at Stenmar, Kazak system.
