- Cargo hull used to be up to 60 kg, but the space was converted to a bunker so he could sleep
- Cloaking device
- Doesn't need a hyperdrive docking-ring
- Very good for scouting and reconnaissance missions
- Jumps to light-speed very easily
- Ion cannon even thou being very strong, can only fire twice. Otherwise it would overheat the engines, and shut the ship down.
- Defence shields can't take much damage.
- Using the cloaking device for too long, will make the defence shield to work in lower capacity and for less time. They aren't used at same time, he either uses one, or another. Nevertheless since cloaking device isn't standard issue and was adapted by request in the ship, whenever he uses drains too much from the engine. Thus, too much cloaking, would compromise the using of the shields later on.
The core elements of the starfighter were kept, but the appearance and chassis were modified for a more unique and condensed approach. Utankan came across the ship in a gambling table. He won it on a bet, but later discovered that the bet was a scam. The alleged owner had stolen that ship after killing the former owners, and just wanted to get rid of it right away. He found out about the robbery, when he took the ship to the mechanic for repairs. The ship was all wrecked and beated down anyways, so he figured that it would be better to make some structural changes. All those modifications, and changes to the registration weren't cheap, but since he had done some dirty jobs to some Hutts, was able to afford. It cost him almost all his credits. Its unique features would make stand out even more, and also make even harder to someone figure out that used to be Nimbus-class V-Wing. At the same time, it made the ship more fast and manoeuvrable.
