The entry level spacecraft for those on a shoestring budget. The Geyak class runabout gives you access to space for a shade over 1 MCr. With room for six or seven seats or just over half a DT of cargo it is just large enough to be useful.
Popular with startup courier companies this is a truly ubiquitous craft. It is small enough to use normal grav craft routes (sky grid). It is able to go anywhere and therefore doesn't require expensive starport facilities. You just need a large garage and a mechanic.
Notable for filling many niches in the market these craft pop up in very diverse roles. Some (desparate) companies have even been known to use them for interplanetary courier work!
