Description / Specifications
The illustration shows the gig in its modified configuration. Originally, the flat shields on either side of the drive were not installed; the arrangement was perfectly acceptable in naval operations. But for starport use, the heat spill from the drives becomes a danger to the lesser trained individuals operating the craft, especially in the close quarters of docking with ships to be inspected. As a result, most of the gigs have been retrofitted with the large protective shields shown.
History & Background / Dossier
It is technically a vessel of the Imperial Navy, it is crewed by local starport personnel and used to perform orbital inspections and other light duties.
