Xotic Shipping operates three Nilron Mk I freighters including the SS Kheth. The Mark II version is a robotic freighter. The Mark I version has a habitat module installed. There is no provision for shuttle storage in the ship, but a shuttle landing pad is provided, with in-space transfer through a flexible airlock tunnel. Only 254 of the 1,046 Nilron class ships have been built for crew use. Star Fleet does not own any of the Nilron class vessels. Approximately 730 of the MK IIs are still in service, mostly in the fleet of major trading companies. Only about 210 of the MK I manned version are still in operating condition, of which the Kheth is a prime example.
