	Comments:		The Maru class armed merchantman has turned the tables
				on many pirates in frontier sectors.  Its efficent
layout also makes it a highly profitable vessel.  It has low-berths, and enough
staterooms to carry a few middle- passengers, though no one would mistake it for a
liner.  A combination of weapons, cargo space, and ability to land in atmosphere also
makes it a rather popular choice for mercenaries, adventurers, and pirates.
