- Fast - The Epsilon-class can travel in subspace and hyperspace very quickly.
- Near-useless in a combat situation - Although decently armed in order to defend itself, the shuttle is not nearly agile enough to go toe to toe with other starships in an offensive bout.
Inspired by the Lambda-class of old and the modern Omicron-class, the Epsilon-class is a sleek alternative to the two other angular ships. Designed primarily as a private shuttle, it can also be utilised as a way for a small number of troops to be sent from orbit to a planet, or house small groups such as senators.
Furthermore, the ship could be customised to include living quarters, should the owner wish to include such a commodity.
