Operational History
First introduced 70 years ago, the Waytreader X11 was designed for in-system cargo transport and short-range runs between orbital stations. It saw widespread use among small businesses, but newer, more efficient models have pushed it into obsolescence. Many decommissioned units now find their way into private hands, used by budget-conscious spacefarers and fringe nomads.
Typical Missions
| Mission Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Light Cargo Transport | Moving small-scale freight between stations |
