STRENGTHS

• Long Hauler: The ArCee Class was originally designed for the purpose of acting as a primary freighter of the rebellion. A reliable, modular freighter, designed for local system governments to use.
• Remote Controlled: the ArCee Class was designed originally to act as a supplement to smaller hauling companies, allowing a hub ship, usually a superfreighter or some kind, to quietly fly a group of ArCees through hyperlanes. While this function does still allow this, it also means that the ArCee class can act as a remotely controlled ship for combat purposes as well.
• Fireship: The remote control systems of the ArCee Class allow it a secret, military purpose. The Wild Space Rebellion has figured out that stuffing the ship to the brim with explosives, then remotely sending it hurling towards an enemy fleet, allows the ship to act as a fleet breaker in engagements, without risking loss of men or materials.
• Heavily Armored: The Shields and Armor of the ArCee Class were originally designed to give their remote controllers heavy leeway for impact strikes, but the true purpose of it was to beef up the ship's defenses, so that when acting as a fireship, even star destroyers would have trouble knocking it out of the sky before it is in position to be remotely detonated.

WEAKNESSES

• Limited Control: The Remote Control functionality is entirely limited to range. ArCee classes are not automated with droid brains, and as such are required to keep close to a hub-ship. While they can have their hyperdrive activated remotely, they are not designed to act without the hub ship nearby. Best for convoys.
• Snail: While relatively fast, the ArCee Class is about as manuverable as a snail. Designed to be towed by tugs upon arrival, the ship is not designed to be anything more than a heavy supplement for frieghter crews, or a flying bomb.

DESCRIPTION
The Wild Space Rebellion's logistical needs have ballooned in the last few months of their operations, and as such a niche opened up. The need for a supplemental ship to local freighter fleets, something that could be cheaply made for skips across hyperspaces, while keeping manpower low.

The result was the "RC" Class, a group of frieghters that could be produced en masse, giving ship crews auxillery ships that can be controlled remotely. Quickly becoming a regular sight in Wild Space, the freighters are amazing additions to low budget operations.

However, the true purpose of the RC Class was always for military operations. A remote controlled, disposable fireship that could be stuffed with explosives and detonated remotely in the middle of enemy fleet formations.
