Description:
As part of Project Galvani, Taeli decided that Aurora Industries needed a secure way to transport Sianium and other sensitive materials and technology from facilities around the galaxy. She wanted something fast and agile, with cloaking capabilities, and that is what she got.
The Samhein-class Stealth Freighter is designed to carry 400 metric tons of material in its cargo hold. Boasting impressive speed and maneuverability, the true defensive feature of the ship is the stygium cloak and other stealth systems the ship is equipped with. The engines have been modified to run off TibannaX, but can't accept other fuel systems, while thrust trace dampers, gravitic modulators, and thermal dissipators protect it from many different types of scans. However, magnetic scans can detect the ship and reverting from hyperspace will certainly be detected by scanners.
However, the Samhein-class has to rely on stealth and speed during any hostile actions as the armor of the ship is very light and it only has one quad laser cannon for weaponry.

http://starwarsrp.net/topic/80387-fast-and-hidden(built and tested a prototype with the improved engines and stealth systems)
http://starwarsrp.net/topic/72415-its-been-a-long-time/(obtained the TibannaX for the engines)
http://starwarsrp.net/topic/77677-peek-a-boom/(obtained the stygium for the cloak)
Intent: To develop a secure ship that can transport Sianium and other important Aurora projects without being detected by hostile forces
