The Arada is one of the most used ships in the galaxy. The Igadzra, Azdgari, and Zachit all have their own differently outfited and colored Aradas. The Arada is also common amung Renegades and traders. I like this ship a lot and suggest buying it as your second ship after you buy a scoutship and map out the entire galaxy. It is available at almost any Strand or Miranu shipyard. Here is what the game says about it:
This ship, variants of which are in use all across the Crescent, comes with only minor armament, but with room for expansion into a light warship, heavy fighter, or courier vessel. The Arada is probably the oldest class of ship still in common use throughout the Crescent and beyond, its endurance testament to its flexibility.
