The Reckless Errand class Close Escort is a very light warship.

• It is a military ship and a Close Escort.

Description (Specifications)

With its thick hull plating there is little rooms left over in this efficient craft. Therefore, no exotic weapons, no sub craft, no cargo hold, and no marines, means this ship is designed for fleet activity with plenty of support craft around and is not intended to be sent off alone for multi-role independent operations. An all-business, no frills fighter, pure and simple.

History & Background (Dossier)

When delivered on time and on budget, the first naval squadrons who received deliveries of this quick and agile ship were soon won over. Well built and dependable, these tough little ships are fast enough to keep up with Imperial fleet maneuvers. There is an eager market for these beauties among Starmercs when surplus lots become available.
