Description: Because the Design Triumvirate at Ringovinda StarYards realized that the Zamboni sanitation ship was too specialized to make much of a headway in sales, it has been decided to adapt and build an enlarged version of it for cargo use, stripping out the mining equipment and the molecular furnace called a Sasori Joshu. The Dennari nevertheless introduces some modifications allowing it to keep up with other heavy corvettes given that it is no longer used to mop up space hazards, such as increased crew comfort and entertainment. As with standard Ringovinda StarYards ships, the Dennari also carries tensor field generators and inertial compensators to ensure the safety of the cargo so long as the ship survives. Also, to ensure that the ship's computer systems will be fully operational, the ship-wide neural net will be used as well. With the Watchtower collision avoidance systems, it can make it safely navigate navigational hazards such as asteroid fields. Unfortunately, it shares a flaw of its base hull: due to the cramped features of the original Zamboni frame, upon which it was based, and as a result, the Dennari is equally cramped, it cannot carry outsize cargo, limiting the width or height of what can be transported onboard.

Nice little ship.

Weaknesses: ...Cannot carry outsize cargo

Is this a reference to the cramped internal structure of the original Zamboni spaceframe? Or rather, can you expand on this line and why it's a weakness?

Also, you could easily expand on the defense rating, maybe with just a sentence or two - I presume we're talking about a strong hull and average shields here?

[member="Jorus Merrill"] An alusteel hull would be stronger than a normal hull, provided the shields remain unchanged. And now with a reference to the original Zamboni spaceframe's cramped internal space: it limits the width and height of what can be transported.
