Cramped for its tiny crew, fast but not too maneuverable, they boast an advanced computer for a ship its size and the range of a typical imperial scout without the fuel tankage.  It is equipped for wilderness refueling and gas giant skimming.  This sleek wedge has an integrated weapons array.  The sand caster is capable of deploying decoys, jammers, flares, and other ECM counter measures.  The ventral, fixed forward missile rack is referred to as a plasma torpedo launcher in the local parlance.  Three of these weapons are carried in the magazine, this misnomer stems from the Geonee opinion that a space missile should be called a torpedo and a fusion warhead that converts targets to clouds of plasma should be named as such.  They call the pulse laser a point defense pulsar, although it is effectively the same as imperial designs.

Considered heavily armed by Geonee naval architects, this design features a slightly longer jump range and bigger computer.  A single battery of six dorsal laser lances (beam lasers) is complemented by twin ventral 'plasma torpedo tubes' and the arsenal is rounded out with four independently targetable point defense plasmatic pulsars (fusion guns) for high speed close assault runs, and to provide anti-missile defense.

Acquired long ago from an unknown agency in some arms deal, these more advanced imports were not built locally.  They stand out with their bright white hulls with fierce looking red detail accents.  Two phaser banks (laser guided particle accelerator barbettes) are fitted into the bow.  A dorsal turret carries a pair of independently targetable point defense plasmatic pulsars (fusion guns).  This turret is surrounded by a life ring (life boat) which for some reason requires the dorsal turret to be jettisoned in order to launch in case of an emergency so dire, as to require abandoning the ship.  As a result the "life ring" is seldom deployed.  Slung under each wing are clusters of fast, short ranged HE assault rocket batteries.  Two barrages can be targeted from a centralized fire control, they use a crude IR homing sensor for terminal guidance, the supply of more sophisticated missiles was exhausted long ago.  At the end of each wing, in a fitted launch cradle, sits a streamlined interceptor.  The original fighters were lost long ago and a model with twin plasma guns was pressed into service as a replacement.  Without dedicated marines customs inspections are problematic for the crew.
