The Type 33 Cargo Runner or Issoku-Class, has all of the appealing features of the Type 30, it is a small, easily customizable starship designed for small cargo and passenger runs. It is the next in the Ge-F7 line, but was redesignated the Ge-L5 due to changes in nomenclature. The interior layout is the same as the original, it is the systems that have been upgraded giving the Ge-L5 better performance. Issoku means fast runner in Yamataigo (้‚ช้ฆฌๅฐ่ชž).
