 thought that most interstellar shipping, like most shipping
 today, would be done by large, scheduled container ships.
 Small independents in their free/far/fat traders would fill
 in gaps -- whether that means visiting a system without
 regular freight service (for whatever reason), or getting an
 urgent cargo delivered ahead of the usual schedule, or
 carrying something the regulars won't touch for legal or
 other reasons.

 For
 example, the macguffin trade is almost entirely handled by
 small independent operators :-)
