Orion Class Star Clipper[1]

The Orion Class Star Clipper is a light Imperial vessel.[1]

Considered a rarity amongst the Imperuum's starships, these vessels are designed for cargo transport at high speeds. Orion's are constructed to transport smaller, high-value cargoes that must reach their destination quickly or through hostile territory. Rather than rely on armed escorts, Orions travel alone. Often they are successful in their runs, but they do have one major drawback. The redundant internal bulkheads and exterior armor that would normally be added has been forgone in order to increase speed and cargo capacity. As a result, a few hits can easily cripple an Orion.[1]
