# Freighters and Haulers *Kharos Ship Catalog, Rebuilt Hulls of the Funtari Confederacy for Void Drifters. Source: https://exodusnds.com/sourcebooks/kharos/freighters-and-haulers* The KR-41 is the ship most Kharos crews start with and rebuild. The KR-72 is the barge that carries what the rebuilt ships dig up. ##### KR-41 Light Freighter *Printed as the Frontier Workhorse Freighter in the Vehicles Manual. Industrial Scaffold. Scale 4. Civilian grade. 5 marks, Mk I to Mk V.* The KR-41 is the frontier workhorse: oversized engines, thick landing gear and a configurable cargo frame. It turns up wherever there is no developed space to fly in, and it is the Player's Guide's alternative starting ship. Most crews that keep one rebuild it at least once, which is why it has more marks than any other Kharos line.
