This retrofit of a decommissioned Photikon is little more than a set of cargo pods joined to the front of the former torpedo bomber, with container mounts taking the place of the hardpoints and pylons usually used to mount weapons. An expanded internal tank to fuel a hyperdrive has been barely crammed into the ship, at the expense of other internal systems and armor. Because of this, the Phononos is quite vulnerable to Dissonance piracy or even Aberrant incursions, and is thus always found as part of a larger fleet convoy. Even still, as an automated freighter it experiences much higher accident and loss rates in deep space, a fact that has kept crewed vessels like the Avlaki competitive.
The Phononos can carry an impressive amount of cargo with the same standardized containers used by the Avlaki and Harmonikos, which can be quickly swapped out at the destination for a set of empty ones without needing to unload them.
