The Starlight Revolution Freighter MK1 is a civilian armed merchantman class ship designed for interstellar cargo transport. Its hull measures 241 meters in length and 84 meters in beam, and it is capable of effective operation for up to 24 months.

The freighter is equipped with 6 single 32mm point defense cannons, 6 double 8cm point defense laser turrets, 2 single HV 284mm rail turrets with 4kg projectiles, and 1 bow AMLS with 2 tubes and 1066.8mm light missiles. Its bow missile magazine has 6 1066.8mm racks, including an autoloader. It also has 2 electronic warfare countermeasure launch systems and a magazine for 6 EW drones, 48 chaff clusters, and 48 smart flares.

The freighter has a Class G standard AI core, a bow D-field with a 128cm D-lens, and is powered by a plasma fusion reactor with a 2 rod configuration. It has a military 3-waveform tunnel FTL drive and a bi-phase military class linear drive for propulsion. It also has a magneto plasma thrust vectoring system with 188 ports and two extended capacity pressurized cargo bays. The ship has a radial cargo system with 24 mounts, an extended capacity internal storage tank, and a boat bay with a capacity of 2 shuttles. It also has an amorphous carbon radiator array that is retractable and inlaid.

The freighter has 13 crew berths, including a single bunk for the captain, a double bunk for officers, a single bunk with a galley-attached quartermaster cabin, double bunks for NCOs, and a 5-berth bunkroom for ratings. It also has a drone management system and racks for large and small type cargobots. The ship's armament and other features suggest that it may be intended for use in potentially dangerous or hostile environments, where it can defend itself and its cargo from threats.

Based on the provided information, the Starlight Revolution Freighter MK1 appears to be a relatively large and well-armed civilian cargo ship for a frontier and out systems freighter. Its armament includes point defense cannons, laser turrets, rail turrets, and missiles, which suggests that it is capable of defending itself from threats. It also has electronic warfare countermeasure systems and a bow D-field, which may indicate that it is designed to operate in environments with significant electronic warfare activity.

The ship's hull is 241 meters long and 84 meters wide, which is larger than some other known cargo ships. It also has two extended capacity pressurized cargo bays and 24 radial cargo system mounts, which assuming all are used with Starlight Revolutions new cargo container system, grant it a massive increase in haulable volume. Additionally, its internal storage tank, boat bay, and cargo robot racks suggest that it has the capability to carry and manage a variety of different cargo types.

The Starlight Revolution Freighter MK1 also has a military-grade 3-waveform tunnel FTL drive and bi-phase linear drive, which indicates that it is capable of high-speed travel and maneuverability. Its magneto plasma thrust vectoring system with 188 ports also allow it to perform advanced maneuvers and evade threats.

Overall, the Starlight Revolution Freighter MK1 is a versatile and capable cargo ship that is well-suited for use in potentially hostile environments. Its armament and other features suggest that it is capable of defending itself and its cargo from threats, and its large cargo capacity, advanced propulsion systems, and cargo management capabilities make it well-suited for transporting a variety of goods over long distances.
