Commentary: This Imperial design is classed as a Light Scout Freighter. But despite the name it is rarely used used for trading. Instead the main purpose is to operate in the frontier, manned by a combat trained crew. It would be scouting for new targets and areas that the Empire would deem worthy of conquest. It has a decent sized cargo hold and a couple of cryogenic berths so the crew can plunder and take prisoners/slaves that they bring back to the Empire for profit and evaluation. It also have a 5 metric ton vehicle bay that normally carry a Gravitic Assault Craft for troop insertion. It has slightly better combat statistics than a normal light freighter and armed with two double laser cannon turrets. This ship normally have a crew of 51 but an advanced SI computer has reduced the crew requirement to 10. The ship can run perfectly well like this, but in case of a malfunction, it's dangerously understaffed for damage control.
