The ship&#8217;s designers decided that merchants didn&#8217;t want to pay for fancy curves, but were instead interested in cargo space. That philosophy had paid off, as over 900 <em>Argons<\/em> have been produced. The top deck is bridge, living quarters, transporters and recreation lounge. The lower deck is actually three decks high and can be partitioned off to the owner&#8217;s tastes.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 934 built, 135 <em>Mk Is<\/em> and 147 <em>Mk IIs<\/em> are in service with Star Fleet. At last count, approximately 140 <em>Mk Is<\/em> and 380 <em>Mk IIs<\/em> are in private hands.
