Anticipating requests for the recently mentioned 1800-ton freighter:

Here is the Dakaar-class freighter, which was partially described
in _The Drenslaar Quest_ by W.H. Keith published by Gamelords.

While the Dakaars operate mostly in Reavers' Deep, equivalent 
designs are likely common throughout Imperial space.


Dakkar-class freighters were built by Starstream Enterprises 
on Caledon (Tech Level 12) and were operated by Starstream, 
Dakaar Trading (a subsidiary of the Dakaar Corporation), the 
Aariskin Corporation of Ildrissar, and a number of other 
subsector- or larger sized shipping and trading concerns. 
These ships are designed primarily for surface-to-surface 
cargo transfer capability.  While they have no space dedicated to 
a ship's vehicle, most crews commonly carry an air/raft in the 
cargo hold.
