Description: shaped similar to the YT series of freighters. the mandibles end in points, and there is ½ the space in between them.

The cockpit is in the left mandible, and the ion cannon is in a turret on the top section of the ship slightly to the rear and is retractable (for atmospheric entry and operations). The skin of the ship is mostly pretty smooth, and the ship has a discernable bend in the middle running lengthwise, with the middle top being higher than the sides.

History: These ships were produced before the disappearance of the katana fleet. All of these ships have a full rig slave system. It was designed as extremely high speed shuttle, for hostile territories. The ship is very fast and maneuverable, designed to out run and out maneuver pirates and other hostiles in normal space. It was not intended to engage fighters, only disable and deliver it’s passengers or cargo. It was one of the fastest production ships of this time period. There were only 4000 of the ships made. Production was stopped shortly after the disappearance of the katana fleet, due to the slave rigging. This ship was also produced with a very short production run [500] as a light freighter [ double the cargo space].

Both models were very expensive, and are difficult to modify extensively [+5 diff. for any new hardware]. They are laid out nicely inside, and critical areas are easy to access for repair. Production was ceased as the ships were slow in hyperspace, had slave rigging and were rather expensive compared to other ships of its era.

the freighter model. They were discovered on a hollowed out asteroid, once owned by Corellian Enterprises. All records of the asteroids existence were lost in the clone wars, and the people who worked at the installation were lost in an asteroid collision while they were leaving the plant. The asteroid was discovered by a group of smugglers, led by a man called: MinJax, in an asteroid belt in the ‘smugglers run’ near the correllian sector. they are selling the ships for 75,000 creds apiece, and all of the ships are ‘like new’ they have just been sitting around for 50 or so years.

Slave Rigging: They ships come with a beacon call, and are able to share jump coordinates with other ‘rigged’ ships, and they are capable of flying to the holder of the beacon call, by means of a homing beacon, and are even able to fight their way to their masters With a skill of 3d.
