From the FASA manual Trader Captains and Merchant Princes, circa 1985
Nilron Class V Freighter
NOTES: The Mark II version is a robotic freighter, and requires an M1 computer for the extra control.  The Mark I version has a personnel pod attached, but has the simpler M1a computer installed.  There is no provision for shuttle storage in the ship, but a shuttle landing pad is provided, with  in-space transfer through a flexible airlock tunnel.  Only 254 of the 1,046 Nilron ships have been built for crew use.  Star Fleet does not own any of the Nilron Class vessels.  Approximately 730 of the robot version MK IIs are still in service, mostly in the fleet of major trading companies.  Only about 210 of the MK I manned version are still in operating condition.
