Cycler

A cycler is a type of intrasolar spacecraft that travels routine, predictable, efficient, low-energy routes. First seen in Sol System as part of the Interplanetary Transport Network, cyclers were commanded by a rotating staff of courier-spacers for years at a time. They were used to transport large quantities of cargo and, to a lesser extent, passengers throughout Sol System. The trade they maintained between the Consortium, the Main Belt, and the Rim was vital to the survival of all of spacefaring kind. 
Cyclers largely became defunct several centuries after the Solar War, their vital systems having broken down due to disrepair or being freebooted and scrapped/repurposed.
