{{quote|The Imperial Clipper is the quintessential Imperial ship. It epitomises elegance of form while delivering speed and agility. Because of its balance of Speed, Luxury and strength it is used for transporting valuable items and personnel of importance across the Empire.|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''', built by [[Gutamaya]], is one of the [[Empire]]'s [[ships]] and thus are generally sold at [[Station]]s that are aligned with the Empire. To purchase the {{PAGENAME}} players must have earned the rank of [[Empire/Ranks|Baron]] with the Imperial Navy. This ship is quite popular with [[pirate]]s, [[trader]]s, and some [[explorer]]s. It is a reasonable pirate ship due to the large cargo capacity and heavy armament. Traders may find this ship appealing due to its superb cargo capacity and defensive capability; while it is more expensive than the [[Lakon Type-7]] it can easily defend itself against a pirate.

Pilots of any [[profession]] may appreciate its speed; no other ship released can exceed the boost speed of an Imperial Clipper with fully upgraded [[Thrusters]].{{Cite}} Additionally, its pitch rotation speed is higher than most ships, making it feel like a very hefty, weighted-down [[Eagle]] with a boost speed that almost reaches that of the [[Cobra]]. As an added benefit, flying at high speed has less effect on its pitch rotation speed than comparable ships, making it a very manoeuvrable ship at high speed. Its only manoeuvring drawback, and likely the reason for its low overall agility rating, is its poor yaw capability; the vertical-lateral thrusters are very weak compared to those of other ships. This weakness, combined with very weak [[shield]]s for its size and wing-mounted [[hardpoint]]s ill-suited for fixed weapons, limits the Imperial Clipper's efficiency as a [[combat]] ship even if the shields are upgraded to maximum.

Speed and manoeuvrability fall off more heavily when heavily loaded than other ships, bringing it back into more normal speeds and turn rates when hauling cargo.

Both the ships interior and exterior are luxurious in design, the engines sport a radically different sound than other ships, and the large cockpit canopy features an unobstructed view of space making the Imperial Clipper very popular among explorers.

{{quote|The Type 7 Transporter is Lakon Spaceway's medium size transport vessel. This is a new model, released in 3290. It's slow but moves a lot of tonnage for its size.|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}},''' previously known as "Freighter 3", is a large and moderately armed freighter. It is one of three freighters produced by [[Lakon Spaceways]], the others being the smaller [[Type-6 Transporter]] and the larger [[Type-9 Heavy]]. While it has the potential to defend itself from small ships, the Type-7 is not designed for combat and thus it is recommended to anyone flying this ship that they should avoid combat whenever possible.

Unfortunately due to this ship requiring a large [[Landing Pad]], the Type-7 cannot dock at [[Outpost]]s. For any traders who plan to dock at an outpost it is recommended that they opt to fly the Type-6 Transporter instead as it is the biggest freighter that can dock at outposts.

Repair costs on the Type-7 is low which makes trading without shields a reasonable strategy if you can avoid combat along the way.

== Trivia ==
* The {{PAGENAME}} has the same yaw and pitch speeds, which means it can turn side-to-side just as fast as it can adjust up and down on the nose. This offsets the low manoeuvrability rating when it comes to docking manually, as it has a similar yaw speed to much smaller ships such as the Eagle or Adder.
