The wraith is the first transport class ship you can obtain, besides the EC class of ships. The difference between the EC class and the Wraith is that the Wraith is actually good. With its two small weapon ports and one large weapon port it can hold its own or do some mining. The Wraith is like the Warthog except it has one more small weapon port and more cargo room.
Game's Description
The Wraith is a multi-role vessel that has proven popular as a light transport, assault platform, even a general-purpose mining craft. Originally derived from an old Itani design, it has been reworked heavily by the UIT and is now on of the favored products of the Axia Technology Corporation.
