The VC-300 'Vexor Class' Armed Courier is an exceedingly fast light courier ship which is about the size of a starfighter. It is lightly armed in case of trouble, but its main defense is its extreme speed, with an advanced shield and electronic warfare suite for use in cases where speed isn't enough. The ship is a hand-built product of the Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratory, and production pace is maintained to make sure than no more than twelve models are active in the galaxy at any one time.
The manufacture and sale of these ships is a special event which attracts a lot of press, and so the ships only find their way into the hands of either very rich or influential clients. The ships are so distinctive that owning a stolen model is very dangerous. The ships are overpriced, costing ten times as much as a typical starfighter merely for the sake of making them exclusive.
Owning such a ship is usually a social flex, rather than being born of any legitimate need to own one of the fastest ships in the galaxy. For those who do need the speed, it is certainly there, along with two passenger seats for the transport of VIPs. This makes the vessel a legitimate courier craft, if one unlikely to actually see use for that purpose.
