The '''''Tramp''''' class [[JumpShip]] is similar in size to the vastly more common ''[[Star Lord (JumpShip class)|Star Lord]]'' class, but can only carry half the number of [[DropShip]]s (three compared to six).

− Almost three centuries later, post-attempted [[Andurien Secession]] in [[3040]], [[SelaSys Incorporated]] already produced the ''Star Lord'' at [[Loyalty]] in the [[Free Worlds League]], and chanced on the old design specifications for the ''Tramp'' when looking for ways to expand their market share. They found that the similarity in size between the two meant drastic savings in tooling up their shipyards to produce the ''Tramp'' as well and their first prototype ''Tramp'' was launched to [[Alterf]] in [[3046]]. Production was halted in [[3052]] when it was found that the drive coils of the first eleven ships built were defective. The reason, a faulty mesh spinner, was quickly rectified and the ships in question were overhauled over the next three years.
