Imperial Courier

Role: Light Multipurpose

The Imperial Courier is the quintessential Imperial ship. It epitomises elegance of form while packing a good punch. Officially the class is used to provide transport for officials that don’t warrant the use of a Cutter or Interdictor. However it’s flexibility means that it fills many roles within the Imperial Navy and prominent citizens.
