Image Source:
Affiliation: Blas-Tech Industries
Manufacturer: Krayt Industries
Model: Invisible Hand-class Frigate
Modularity: None
Production: Limited
Material: Durasteel, transparisteel
Classification: Escort Frigate

Length: 250 meters
Width: 60 meters
Height: 70 meters

Armament:
Twenty retractable quad laser cannons

Hanger:
One squadron of fighters or bombers (or) shuttles

Special Features:
Standard ship systems (navicomputer, sensor array)
Retooled standard engines that burn Tibanna gas isotope TibannaX to create a black efflux trail
Gravatic modulator to defeat mass-detectors
Downgraded shields to allow room for sensor negators
WhiteNoise Holo and Com transmitter (http://starwarsrp.net/topic/47715-whitenoise-holo-and-com-transmitter)
Office space in case an executive wishes to use the frigate as a mobile office
Blast tinted transparisteel
Durasteel painted matte-black with small star-speckles to render it almost invisible on a star background

Maneuverability Rating: 6
Speed Rating: 7
Hyperdrive: Class 1

Strengths:
Extremely hard to detect with sensors, very stealthy as one can be without a stygium cloaking device
Good for escort duty with its laser cannons
Office space allows one to run a company on the move if required

Weaknesses:
Weak shields and armor means this ship is not for engaging capital ships
WhiteNoise Holo and Com transmitter can only send transmissions to another WhiteNoise
Firing the lasers will give away the ship's location, making it a target for counter-attacks while it attacks
Low weaponry count

Description:

After acquiring L&L Robotics in an auction from Blas-Tech, Darth Arcanix was contractually obligated to create a starship for Blas-Tech Industries. In communication with Alric Kuhn, it was decided that the ship designed would be of the more stealthy variety and so work began to design the Invisible Hand-class frigate.

Named for the invisible forces that affect an economy, and having design choices taken from the old StealthX starfighter, the Invisible Hand was designed for the stealth running of a business in mind, or for escort duties. Equipped with sensor negators to nullify scans, a gravatic modulator to defeat mass detectors, tinted transparisteel, matte-black hull plating, and retooled engines that burn the TibannaX isotope. The ship is also equipped with twenty retractable quad laser cannons for defense and escort duties.

That being said, the ship does have several weaknesses, the first and foremost being its weak shields and hull to compensate for the stealth tech used in it. The Invisible Hand-class is advised not to engage any capital ships beyond a corvette as its weapon systems are too low to do much damage except against starfighters and smaller ships. The WhiteNoise transmitter also can only send transmissions to another WhiteNoise, otherwise transmissions are unreadable from the white noise of the universe. Another weakness is that once the ship fires on something, its current location will be revealed and it will be most likely fired upon.

All stealth ships normally require a dev thread. After some mulling I realized the speed is rather fast too., but it is barely bigger than a corvette and its lightly armed so that's not bad.
