Hi mallow,

I believe that troopships were contracted by the military so it's unlikely that civilians would be found as passengers, but if you have the name of a ship I'll check it for you.

Troopships were usually crammed with any many soldiers as they could pack in, conditions most cilivians wouldn't tolerate.
