STRENGTHS
Quick: With a best-in-class MBE Superliminal Biodrive, finely-tuned sublight engine, and a body crafted for speed and manoeuvrability, this particular craft is among the fastest in the galaxy
Quiet: With a WhisperThrust engine, anti-ion emission tracer, Nightshadow coating, and a cloaking device all fitted to this craft, detecting the vessel when it does not want to be detected is exceedingly difficult
WEAKNESSES
Reconnaissance only: The cruiser was built for two things: speed and stealth. With limited shields for deflecting space-debris and no weapons whatsoever, it’s effectively useless in combat situations or in a direct firefight
Sub-par scanners: The focus of the vessel was to move around unnoticed. As a result, in order to remain undetected, it has very few onboard scanners, those that it does have are short-range only, and additionally, are automatically disabled when the stealth-systems are engaged. In order to use its scanners, the craft must reveal where it is
Touchy Hyperdrive: Such a powerful hyperdrive is not without its disadvantages. The Biodrive is particularly suseptible to damage, additionally, it does not cope well with sudden unplanned reversion to realspace. With few defences to protect it, the craft could be crippled with only a few shots, leaving it vulnerable
Limited cargo space: The spec sheet for this vessel emphasised the need for large fuel reserves, which given the craft’s compact design, left precious little space for cargo. Beyond the personal belongings of those on board, there is very little room, making it ineffective as a freighter, even in a pinch
DESCRIPTION
My Dearest [REDACTED]
As always, it was a pleasure to see you. Per your suggestion, I have enclosed designs for a ship I would like your company to construct. Payment has been enclosed (along with a little something extra).
I took you advice under consideration when drawing up the designs. As you can see, I’ve designed her with the fastest hyperdrive class I can procure, along with recommendations for engine tuning services in order to maximise the possible speeds.
Additionally, I’ve enclosed contact details with the best stealth-system manufacturers on the market. A few of them owe me favours, the letter I’ve included should provide you a discount on these components. Don’t let them con you into downgrading, I’m very particular about wanting this ship to be next to invisible.
Of course, I am aware that this design comes at a cost. As you can see, I’ve included only minimal shields and no weapons. You know me, doll, avoiding a fight has always been my priority. Oh yes, my Consigliere has already expressed his concern at my choice, but this is a decision on which I’m unwilling to budge.
As for the scanners, I was unable to secure a deal with any descent scanning equipment; I only have access to the components listed, which are short-range and cannot be used when the stealth systems are activated. If you can find something better, by all means, feel free to make the necessary adjustments.
If you’re able to increase the storage capacity for the cargo hold, again, you are welcome to do so, however, my designer has assured me that this is the best we can do, and I am aware that it is unable to be used as a decent freighter.
Thank you, doll, for offering this favour. It is always a pleasure to see you, and you are always welcome to swing by whenever you’re in my corner of the galaxy. I’ve left your details at the casino; a sizable reserve of chips awaits your collection should you ever stop by.
Until next time,
