"Reliable, tough... and pretty. Just like me."

Official Name: Nebulon Ranger
Faction/Affiliation: N/A
Classification: Light Freighter
Dimensions-
Height: 10 meters
Width: 25.67 meters
Length: 31.2 meters
Crew Necessity: 1 Minimum, 2 Optimal
Armament:
- 1 bottom-mounted, manned quadlaser
- 2 forward facing repeating turbolasers
- 1 rear facing ion cannon
- 1 top-mounted torpedo launcher

Hangar Facilities/Starfighter Capacity: N/A
Other: Interior hull modified by Jack to include several "creature comforts", among these a crew space with bar and lounge. Docking clamps, several hidden cargo compartments for smuggling purposes. Secondary fusion generator on board in case of emergency. Barracks with four bunks, one master bedroom (Captain's Quarters), medbay.
Design Goals:
- Speed: The Ranger was meant to be sleeker and faster than most any light freighter. You'd be hard pressed to find a starship the same size that can outrun it.
- Defense: The secondary fusion generator can be activated to "overcharge" the ship's shielding with the risk of burning out the engines.
- Agility: The ship's hull weight has been reduced greatly by removing some unneeded exterior paneling and replacing it with the bare necessities. The result is a much faster, easy to maneuver ship at the cost of some reduced integrity.
- Stealth: With a basic energy field inhibitor, the Ranger is able to function effectively as a stealth craft by blocking its heat and transmission signatures to anything but the most powerful scanners.
- Mobile Home
- Cargo Runner
- Escape Vehicle
Description/role: A reliable, durable light freighter manufactured by the C.E.C, based off of an improved VX-00 Freighter design. This particular model has been heavily modified by its current owner, Jack Kast, to include a number of features not readily available to the stock version. Jack acquired his ship from an auction, heavily damaged and not at all spaceworthy. Over the course of six months, with funding by some credits, Jack had repaired all functions of the ship to the highest degree. He even installed a few extra additions per his liking. The ship's functionality and design have both varied over the years, and most likely will continue to.
