All have powerful armaments, cargo capabilities, and heavy armor. Their EM
shielding, however, remains behind most other races'. Large craft are normally
used for cargo transport and as moderate weapons platforms in UIW conflicts. The
medium ships make effective shuttlecraft, and combined with the natural
hospitality of the Dah'Screwe, have created a substantial transportation
industry. While roughly the size of Terran fighter craft and small shuttles, the
small craft are generally used by the UIW for system reconnaissance. Small cabin
size (due to the Dah'Screwe compactness) accounts for this niche.

The overall usefulness of these ships has gained a minority
following among other races. Cargo holds can be retro-fitted as cockpits
for bridges to accommodate larger species, but vital systems are impossible
for them to work on. Therefore, Dah'Screwe ships must be serviced in
their handful of systems or at the few stations with furry mechanics.
While many claim this to be impractical, owners usually gain a particular
fondness for their ships. Humans often refer to Dah'Screwe ships as a
whole as 'The Three Bears' (after the ancient fairy-tale), and individual
models as Large, Med, or Little Swiss because of their all-around
capabilities.
