===Game's Description===
The EC family of multipurpose spacecraft forms the broad base of general ship use in the galaxy. Originally designed and manufactured as a transport by TPG during the early years of [[Union of Independent Territories|UIT]] off world colonization, it now sees wide use with all [[nations]]. Whether the needs are basic combat, light transport duty, even [[mining]] or other special-case uses, the EC series can handle it all. It is not considered a specialized ship, but there are many variants of it that lend themselves better to one type of use or another. For instance, the [[Axia Technology Corp|Axia]] EC-101 MkII provides heavier armor for combat use, while the [[Valent Robotics|Valent]] EC-101 Type B includes expanded cargo capacity for trading or transport usage.
A custom variant of TPG's economical ship series is commissioned by the International Transport Consortium, a nonprofit group dedicated to advancing the interests of traders throughout the galaxy. This ship is available only to those who accrue at 10,000 credits in profit, earning the [[Badges#Trading|Basic Trader I medal]].
