Hmm - maybe memer&sarets operate the FTL liners.Where there is liners regularly going it would generally be unprofitable for other types of FTL commercial ships to go as as renting rides from the liners would usually be cheaper than operating ones own FTL drive - wich rises a question - is there anything limiting the use of FTL once one has a drive? Expensive exotic fuel, maybe... or maybe FTL astrogation is hard and somewhat hazardous and requires a skilled sentient pilot - but the memer/sarets have the knack for it so the liners almost never crash...
