The Skulkblade

Class: Modified Light Freighter (Infiltration-Optimized)
Model Base: Corellian CT-180 “Raptor” class, customized
Crew: Krex & Nessa (can seat up to 6 total)
Length: 34 meters

Appearance: Sleek, angular hull with a dark matte finish and sensor-baffling panels; compact side-mounted engines for agility; forward-facing sensor cluster and two underslung modular cargo pods. Bright blue-white ion trail when active, but designed for low-profile runs.

Key Features
Stealth Suite: The Skulkblade is equipped with advanced sensor-dampening plating, EM signature suppressors, and passive jamming fields, making it excellent at avoiding detection during approach or escape.
Slicer’s Core: Krex has installed a custom multi-band slicing suite into the cockpit’s data terminal, allowing remote system intrusion from orbit or in-flight. It’s loaded with decryptors, false transponder protocols, and a small databank of stolen access codes.
Modular Cargo Hold:
The ship’s lower hold can be swapped between:
A secure prisoner cell (holds up to 2)
A cargo vault (for stolen tech or artifacts)
A mini-workshop (for on-the-fly gear or ship repairs)

Weapons Loadout:
2 dual laser cannons (forward-mounted)
1 dorsal light turret (operable from the cockpit)
2 missile launchers (small payload, typically EMP or ion warheads) — Nessa’s favorite for disabling targets rather than destroying them

Speed & Agility: The Skulkblade is fast and nimble, slightly outperforming stock light freighters due to souped-up engines, but it sacrifices heavy armor for stealth and mobility.

Hyperdrive:
Class 1.5 (reliable, moderately fast, but not top-tier)
Backup: Class 10
