Description: [SIZE=13.63636302948px]The Narran-Class was named after the draconic, metamorphic species Narran on Crystalsong. It was originally designed as an interdiction fighter to intercept and eliminate high-speed threats from long range on an interception course (as a class of turbine jet fighter had on a smaller scale millennia before). Early in development engineers realized the prohibitively large size made the craft ideal as a gunship or heavy bomber, and began immediately developing the Narran-Class for both roles. The Intercept Fighter concept was not abandoned, however, and simply reserved as the last development of the project, being renamed to "Interdictor."[/SIZE]
The Narran Class Aspect Model was made as an interstellar assault gunship based on the versatile Narran-Class chassis. It was designed primarily as a weapons platform to conduct deep space strikes on unsuspecting targets through small-flight formations. It is thus that while an actual Squadron consists of twelve to twenty Aspects, they are most commonly grouped in operable flights of four. As to be expected of a fast, sleek assault gunship with heavy armament and long-range travel, the Aspect Model is not a troop transport and can only field an extra two to four passengers in fold-out chairs as part of a maintenance or command crew.
A modular version of the Narran-Class design was later released to the general public, in the form of a personal shuttle. Taking after the modular design of small freighters in the past millennium, the company sought to make the shuttle design as customizable as possible, including a reserved ten metric tonne space for aftermarket components.

Intent: The Crystalsong Commonwealth needs solutions for its new military and the shuttles were just for fun.
