Type KX Krax X-Boat - Part of a major Krax government initiative to improve communications throughout the Confederations, this design takes full advantage of recent advances in Krax engine technology. Using the same streamlined 100-ton hull as the Type KAL light trader, the Type KX is intended for moving information and mail at a three parsec range. Equipped with a K300 jump drive and powerplant, as well as a K100 maneuver drive, this vessel is capapble of Jump-3 and Maneuver-1. A 40-ton fuel tank provides fuel for the power plant and a single jump-3. Adjacent to the bridge is a Model 3 computer, with a second Model 6 dedicated solely to data storage and transmission. There are only two staterooms and no low berths. A single turret mounting a custome pulse laser is installed on the ship's hardpoint.  In the event of a failure of the primary communications system, the laser is capable transmitting information stored in the Model 6 in a series of high-density, low energy pulses. Cargo capacity, normally reserved for mail service, amounts to 2.5 tons. The KX requires a crew of two, a pilot/engineer and a computer/laser technician who serves as gunner in an emergency. The ship costs 117.3MCr and requires 10 months construction time.

Most examples of this class have been constructed at the Krax Capital (1120 Glimmerdrift Reaches), with all known examples of this type in the service of the Krax Confederation.
