Description
Delving back into spaceships after a long break! This craft is designed for quick delivery through dangerous zones - large engines for its size and reasonable armament make up for relatively limited cargo space. Due to its specialized profile and high cost, it has never sold particularly well, although they are favored as executive transports (and sometimes as pirate raiders).Related content

This could easily pass as a Star Wars design. In fact, I'm surprised that wasn't in the description.

Agreed, that just wasn't the intent when I put stylus to tablet. Hence, I just labeled it generically.

Playing SWTOR again makes me see this as something that should sell well for military use.
Well armed for a small ship to repel lighter craft and make a hole in defenses.
Large quad engines means fast and maneuverable enough to get past static defenses on a planet or large ship.
Multiple coms and sensors noted so intelligence and orders can get through.
Forward hatch looks like it could be used on land, docked, or to make your own dock for boarding actions.
Small cargo means a unit with small transports could land behind enemy lines and move quickly.
May not sell well in the private sector, but it should have done well for military and para-military forces.

Yep, it probably had a reasonable life in that market as well - although I think purpose-built military ships may only be a little more expensive, and would probably be sturdier. Still, for those unable to access military hardware, this courier might well fill a niche.

Nice, what kind of cargo does it carry? Ammo, troops, equipment?
How much does this one cost?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, the cargo is really up to the purchaser - the passenger version is used as a fast starliner on relatively short hauls, for instance, while the cargo version is routinely used to carry perishable cargo, or valuables through dangerous space.
I'm not sure what it would cost, but it doesn't come cheap - probably twice as much as a stock medium freighter or more.

Thanks! There was a lot of greebling to do on this one.
