The Khadumir class Fast Courier is a communications starship.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Whenever messages or small cargoes must travel faster than an XBoat could carry them, or across routes not served by Xboat network, the IISS uses the fast courier. It's jump-6 capability allows it to cross subsector distances in a relatively short time, and it is capable of wilderness refueling so as to cross space away from the main trade routes.
The fast courier carries much less data than an Xboat, but more than enough for high priority Imperial traffic. It has a small cargo hold, and enough staterooms to carry several passengers if the crew use double occupancy. Fast couriers are generally armed well enough to defend against corsairs, although they cannot survive a a sustained battle.
A nearly identical ship class is in Imperial Navy service as a fleet courier, and many private organizations have experimented with similar designs.
