Cruiser

A cruiser is an interstellar spacecraft of up to 15000 tons and a crew complement of 50-100. In the ING, the cruiser is the smallest type of vessel used as a carrier for smaller fighter-class craft. In the commercial sector, cruisers are used as freighters or colony ships carrying settlers and materials to frontier worlds. Commercial cruisers have no real upper size limit; rather, their size is determined by economic factors.
