Another fine ship from WorkForce Incorporated, the Alpha-Class Trader has its name for a reason:  its the first ship many people own.  Small, light, and fairly fragile, the Trader still has a number of features that make it attractive to a first time buyer.  The first is the price: few other ships with a price that low support a warpdrive.  Another thing is that although it isn't heavy on cargo space, a lot of first time buyers go for small high-risk shipments that bring in BIG paybacks, and with this ship, you can too!  It has a passenger area which can be rented out to travelers, which in the right circumstances can turn a great profit.  A great round-about craft!
