The Merchantman was a small warp-powered freighter or cargo vessel, that was in use in the 23rd century. It had a flared bow that tapered into a narrower central section, which resembles a ray-like sea creature. It was enclosed in a protective outer rusty-red paneling that shielded the entire front half of the vessel with warp nacelles fitted below the main body.
