==Traders==NPC traders can be found in convoys trading all around the galaxy. They are commonly found flying [[TPG Constellation Heavy Transport]]s, [[Trident Light Frigate]]s, [[Behemoth]] Heavies, [[Centaur]]s, and [[Atlas]]es, also [[Goliath]]s, and [[Capella]]s. Convoys of NPC traders launch from stations and carry cargo to other stations, either as part of an [[Missions#Escort|Escort Mission]], or periodically on their own. They are usually accompanied by an NPC fighter escort consisting of [[Vulture|Vulture MkIV]] and [[Centurion|Centurion MkIII]] ships.
