Well, actually, I intended it to be the freight.  I imagined this to be a
'freestyle' freighter, not using modular cargo pods but instead carrying
spaceships and containers and other stuff in the middle.

Yes that works too.  I can see how the Nightshadow might just be freight,
like ships of today carrying autos overseas.  :)

As for the storyline... well, I sort of imagined that Jake built the Junk
Ship, and raised some money with that early ship, then his brother Bob built
the junky Fat Duck, and then Dave built this.  The trio sort of starts
'Outer Rim Industries' that way.

Hmm.  That sounds interesting.  I honestly hadn't looked into the details of
the Outer Rim (beyond my interaction with Jake in Starship).  But I like
your ideas here.  Just curious, are the three of them brothers, friends, or
just business partners?
