The K-5 bulk carrier is operated by the Koburg Combine, a joint venture between mega and major corporations in the region. It typically operates a known route between multiple stable worlds with significant production and tech level differentials, such that products from one are pretty much guaranteed to be required on the other. Commercial arrangements are usually ongoing contracts between the Combine and the respective world governments rather than other trading organizations or individuals. Due to the rolling nature of the contract, the requirement to transport goods quickly is replaced by continuous supply at a modest speed, with two or more K-5s operating along the same route at different intervals. Although the ship can carry a significant number of passengers and is equipped to handle mail at any given time, the bread and butter that keeps it flying is the enormous cargo capacity. It is not common to find these ships where there is danger of piracy; if they require defending, Korburg will typically field a number of Close Escorts or Destroyer Escorts rather than arming the ship itself.
