OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Vornskr 4 is a U-wing pattern troop transport built by Incom-Freitek Corporation to specifications provided by the field commander of Task Force Vornskr, Garven Piarcos. Built from the bottom-up as a transport for covert operations, the U-wing is comparable to the specially built gunships used by the Muunilinst 10 and Clone Shadow Troopers during the ancient clone wars, eschewing the U-wing's normal loadout of weaponry for a battery of systems designed specifically for the mission that it will be used for.
Garven replaced the laser cannons of the standard U-wing with a pair of Ion Cannons often used on B-wing pattern starfighters, trading marginal killing power with the capability to disable similar-sized ships to be boarded or left in the dark. More importantly however, the Starfighter is equipped with an advanced suite of equipment designed to jam or hide from sensors, allowing it to slip into and out of targeted star systems undetected by enemy sensors, indispensable for a transport being used by commandos such as those of Task Force Vornskr

- A Knife in the Darkness: The Vornskr-class Covert Operations Transport is equipped with advanced jamming, electronic warfare, and sensor-blinding suites, as well as a reflect coating over most of the hull. These combine to make it into a stealthy craft, highly capable of evading enemy detection.
- MEDEVAC is on the way: While it certainly doesn't have the facilities or capabilities of a proper purpose-built medevac platform, the IM-6 Battlefield medical droid allows for injured members of TF Vornskr or any captives or VIPs they're tasked with exfiltrating to receive immediate emergency medical care en route to an SIA medical site.
- Eh... maybe more like the Sheath: Barring what the passengers might carry with them, the transport isn't outfitted with any weapons designed to destroy enemy ships or installations, carrying only fighter-grade ion cannons and a pair of mounts for handheld ion repeaters. Combine with its average speed and mediocre maneuverability, it's not going to be destroying anyone any time soon
- Maintenance Nightmare: With advanced systems like ECMs, EW Suites, and engine bafflers, as well as the Reflec Polymer Coating requiring regular inspection and periodical replacement, the Vornskr-class troop transport requires specialized maintenance by expert mechanics, and any long-term mission will require multiple weeks of downtime.
