EL-AHRAIRAHII: In order to allow its agents to move freely throughout the Domain of Deneb, the Order of the White Star has commissioned half a dozen vessels. They are designed so as to pass for typical type-A free traders, though they are actually sophisticated craft intended for the multitude of covert missions which the White Star undertakes.
El-Ahrairah's electromagnetic masking is designed to make the craft look like a typical free trader to outside scans. Only when she is clearly not behaving like a mundane craft (i.e., running for a jump point at 3 gravities) is her true nature apparent. The ship's transponder can be altered to provide false identification of the vessel with little effort.
