Operational profile

Recognition and use

This 100-ton dispatch ship reaches six gravities while carrying four crew, four passengers, and a compact priority-cargo hold. Jump-2 range, an autodoc, and a reserved hardpoint support mail, urgent charters, and official dispatch work.

High acceleration consumes the volume a freighter would use for cargo, so ordinary low-margin hauling is unattractive. Its value lies in getting people, information, and small valuable loads to the next system quickly.
