BRAD'S COMMENTS:  As with the Laweya, I owe thanks to Neale Davidson and Ed McCarthy for this class; Ed for sending me the scans from the original manual, and Neale for creating the wonderful re-draw.  Muchas gracias, fellas!

NOTES:  The OVERFIELD class freighter has many interior configurations.  Its most common is as a normal cargo vessel, transporting containers.  The vessel does have variants for carrying liquids and bulk items (such as grain).  In these modes, she ship is fitted with special locks topside for the movement of the materials.  The huge cargo area has specially designed movable partitions allowing for many interior configurations.  The vessel can be pressed into service as a troop transport, albeit with not very comfortable living conditions.  The observer will note the four airlocks on both sides of the ship on the lower surface of the forward hull.  These are for docking cargo shuttles.  Large elevators end conveyors move material so these inside the vessel, allowing for two centralized customs and paperwork stations.
