These ships are generally equipped with 2 CP-l "Debilitator" Civilian Improved Mk II Pulse Cannon's and 4 Hull busting Class 9 or 10 Weapons of choice. Generally CODENAME weapons supplied by the Akadis Research Team (Not Affiliated with FTC).
Bomber Wing:
The CTE-19000 Civilian Bomber, also known as the Roc Civilian bomber, is the main Bomber vessel used by the FTC Bomber Escort Wing, chosen for its availability, reliability, and flexibility. Ease of repair makes this ship a must have, as the parts can be easily changed and replaced with parts from the already in use Eagle Very Heavy Fighters.
The main Anti-Gunboat & Defense ships of the FTC, the FTC Roc Bombers are standard equipped with 5 Bomber Energy Cannon Mounts, 1 Supernova Antimatter Cannon, and Train Cruise Disruptor. The Roc Bomber is usually restricted to the Higher Ranking FTC Escort Pilots.

Pushing the upper envelopes of contemporary engineering, the grandest configuration of the vulnerable "Train" class vessel plays deft host to a chain of incredible mass, threading the fortunes of companies between asteroids and firefights alike with a finesse not easily believed until seen. While weight must be spread somewhat uneconomically to maintain structural integrity, hence the question additional pods, the relative compact nature of the ship belies the sheer tonnage she hauls. As such the vessel is a common sight across the houses, used by all.
Non-Corporate Transport Wing:
These individuals operate under the Independent Trader ID and ID's that restrict cargo capacity. They fly primarily the Border Worlds Transport, but may have otherwise.
The Border Worlds Transport is chosen for its wealthy cargo hold, large availability, handling, neutrality, and ease of repair.
It's speed, Sleekness, and maneuverability Make it a Must have for the small time traders among the FTC.
At a mere price of $41,000,000 Sirian credits, the ship is cheap, and available to all ranks of the FTC.
