Strengths:

• Let me just squeeze in here: This cruiser is incredibly small and light, meaning it can dart swiftly around obstacles and find landing zones with ease, as it requires much less space than many other vessels
• Catch me if you can: With very low weight, this craft can zip quickly around, make sharp turns, and lose pursuers with relative ease
• Fill 'er up: This small vessel cannot carry a lot of fuel, so it needed to be good with what it could carry. Luckily, it's not carrying a huge amount of bulk, so the efficiency was not all that difficult to achieve
• Stealth: With a WhisperThrust engine, anti-ion emission tracer, Nightshadow coating, and a cloaking device all fitted to this small craft, detecting the SC-500 when it does not want to be detected is exceedingly difficult

Weaknesses:

• There's no room: Due to the craft's small size, it has very little space. Barely larger than a shuttle itself, there is no way you're getting a speeder, speeder bike, or any significant cargo on this thing
• As delicate as it looks: This craft was never meant to enter combat. Its armour is for deflecting space debris, not plasma blasts. It would not last long against an assault from anything with a gun on it
• Not much of a bite: The only weaponry this craft possesses is whatever heat the pilot was packing when they stepped on board
• Small reserves: This vessel is fuel efficient, because it has to be. With such a small size and low weight, its fuel reserves are small to match, so frequent top-ups are a must
• One or the other: The SC-500 can be fast, or it can be quiet. The whisperthrust system and various non-detection technologies work effectively only at low-to medium speeds

DESCRIPTION
Sahna is small and quiet.

It was only natural for her to want a ship that was the same; something unobtrusive, quiet, subtle… something stealthy. That was the idea behind the SC-500. It is a craft that is small enough to share a hanger with another vessel if need be, and quiet enough to slip in and out of hangars and stations virtually undetected.

All the basic amenities have bee considered; including medical supplies, bathroom and living facilities, and even a comfortably-sized panel for viewing holovids on long trips. Although comfortable, it is no more than that, as its small size left no room for luxuries or extras not deemed essential.

The craft mirrors its designer in almost every aspect. The SC-500 can be quick, or it can be stealthy, leaving almost no trace where it goes. However, it is delicate and slight, like the Togruta that birthed it. Not built for combat, it was never even fitted with weapons, and its deflector shield and atmospheric friction shield were fitted with environmental hazards in mind only.

But even with its lack of firepower, minuscule living space, and small reserves, the SC-500 is still a capable little craft, just like its creator.
