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.

Deliver on your duty; without limit, without fail.
The Charon has the highest cargo capacity of any freighter in the game, being able to carry 1,247,762 of cargo at Caldari Freighter V when fit with faction modules to maximize cargo. Caldari freighters with Caldari Freighter IV can hold more than any other freighter, even with their respective freighter skills trained to V, so if you want to carry massive amounts of materials, the Charon is the way to go. However, the Charon have absolutely no power nor CPU capacity, and no slots for modules, allowing it to only equip passive modules such as expanded cargohold or microfiber internal structures.
Skills
Since Freighters cannot fit any high or mid slot modules, if you want to focus primarily on flying freight there are only a handful of support skills that will matter.
