:Description:
:Although private military contracting has become a lucrative market in the aftermath of the Great War, there are many people and organisations who cannot afford or do not want to deploy a new, modern military starship. In such a situation, many often secure themselves the tried-and-tested hull of a Mako-class light corvette, which is still a plentiful commodity even after more than sixty years of service.
:Originally designed by the Reyes-McLees Corporation, the Mako-class light corvette was introduced to both the CMA and UNSC Navies as a long-cost patrol ship that could police civilian shipping lanes for contraband and enforce their laws. Back during the Insurrection, it was lauded for being the smallest faster-than-light ship of its day, and crews enjoyed its swift, durable, and rugged design. The were easily on new crews thanks to their low-maintenance, user-friendly organisation, and their light arsenal was perfect with dealing with small, fast fighters and merchant ships that attempted to run. Unfortunately, all of these advantages made them the perfect ship for rebel crews, and huge numbers of them were stolen and turned against the UNSC.
:Nowadays, the times have caught up to these humble ships, and many now regard them as competing poorly with modern vessels. Their engines are sluggish and fuel-intensive, and their token armaments are easily outgunned by even the smallest corvettes today. However, their wide availability thanks to independent shipyards producing their own copies ensures they are far cheaper than most later vessels. Even in modern times, new captains and crewmen often begin their careers on a Mako-class, often conducting the same tasks their UNSC ancestors did so many decades before.

:Description:
:When fleets of merchant ships venture off into interstellar space to sell their wares, their escort division usually contains a contingent of nimble Christchurch-class corvettes to protect them from would-be raiders. Zipping around the battlefield on pivoting fusion drives, they are aggressive, lean little ships, with a small diamond-like profile and respectable weapons all directed forwards. Although a favourite of new privateer captains, their excellent combat capabilities are limited only by their lack of a cargo-hold and low fuel storage. Because of this, a dedicated supply ship is necessary to sustain them during longer-term contracts.

:Description:
:Whenever the Liang-Dortmund Corporation feels that a location or dispute has some sort of value to them, whenever that be economically or strategic, their security division often dispatches a Detroit-class merchant cruiser to secure it. Often seen in systems owned by the company, these 'merchant cruisers' are officially deployed to act as privateers and patrol ships, securing regions of space that are infested by pirates and guaranteeing safe civilian travel. In reality, they are used to enforce tolls and company fees, as well as expand the company's operations on the colonial frontier at the expense of their competitors - rival interstellar corporations, Covenant remnants, and even independent settlements that reject their offers of purchase.
:In spite of its size and designation, the cargo areas available on a Detroit-class merchant cruiser are quite modest and small. Instead, its combat capabilities and defences are more equivalent to those on frigates and destroyers, with most of its armaments tuned towards fighting smaller, faster opponents. However, they still have utility when they must engage larger targets, and their weapons are optimised to focus all their fire forwards, with a large blind spot towards their aft. A small security force was carried for ground operations. Unusually for a ship of their size, the Detroit-class had five massive retractable struts for planetside landing.
:Although for a time they were used exclusively by Liang-Dortmund, Misriah Aerospace has since allowed limited numbers of these ships to be built for other buyers. In addition to the standard armed variation, the Detroit Courier has also been released for purchase, which drops most of its weapons and shields in favour of a larger cargo capacity and hardpoints for custom modifications.

:Description:
:The Jackfish-class container ship was a rather small delivery ship that diverted away from RMC's expertise with lumbering superfreighter and cruiseliner hulls. When it first launched in 2500, these container ships were an expensive, niche vessel that concerned themselves only with the movement of urgent goods and messages. To achieve this, they had two oversized, advanced fusion drive sections on either side of the hull, which were marketed heavily on their combination of speed and fuel economy. Although they were never produced in large amounts, many Jackfish-class were later sold on as an entry-level freighter for new captains and shipping companies.
:The Jackfish-class' configuration appeared to be outwardly similar to a early model of ONI prowler, which has seen rumours start off that the two were related in some way. In any case, they were recruited for UNSC service, where they acted as emergency resupply ships. These military models were given a basic amount of armour and weapons to protect themselves.
