Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Phileas is a hundred-ton fast courier with Jump-2 range, six-gravity acceleration, advanced electronics, four points of armor, and a streamlined hull. A mixed turret and point-defense laser give its four-person crew protection while carrying urgent dispatches through dangerous space.

Three staterooms, fuel processing, an emergency berth, and a 14-ton hold support independent mail, intelligence, and priority-cargo work. It sacrifices bulk capacity for speed and survivability.
