What the game says about it

As the makers of the Charon, the Caldari State are generally credited with pioneering the freighter class. Recognizing the need for a massive transport vehicle as deep space installations constantly increase in number, they set about making the ultimate in efficient mass transport - and were soon followed by the other empires. Regardless, the Charon still stands out as the benchmark by which the other freighters were measured. Its massive size and titanic cargo hold are rivalled by none.

This page is the dictionary entry: what the item is, what it weighs, how much room it takes in a hold and - when a blueprint exists - what goes into making one. The numbers come from the game's own data, so they change when CCP patches the game and not before.

Prices are deliberately somewhere else. What something costs is a question about one item in one place at one moment, and its market page answers it properly: best sell, best buy and every order we have stored, region by region.
