A Mancharan starhopper was a type of small civilian starship in the mid-23rd century, used largely by traders. Cervantes Quinn's ship Rocinante was a Mancharan starhopper. (VAN novel: Harbinger)

It is unclear what distinguishes a "Mancharan" vessel from any other. Author David Mack notes that the name is a reference to the setting of the novel Don Quixote de la Mancha^[citation needed].
