STRENGTHS

• "Damn She's Fast!": Keisha's ion drive has been extensively overhauled and now includes dual NZ SLAB-01 Sublight Afterburners. This gives her a hell of a boost in sublight speed, allowing her to outrun all but the fastest ships in the galaxy.
• Turns on a Dime: Keisha's aftermarket maneuverability system gives the freighter the ability to execute hairpin turns and seemingly impossible evasive maneuvers.
• "0.5 Past Lightspeed.": Keisha is equipped with an aftermarket hyperdrive that allows her to make 0.5 past lightspeed.

WEAKNESSES

• "Maybe too fast...": Despite its extensive modifications, Keisha's ion propulsion system was never designed to channel the amount of power required for it to make full use of the NZ SLAB-01 afterburners. As such, the ship's power distribution system can only handle the ship travelling at top speed for a few minutes (10 at most) before numerous power conduits blow, rendering the ship disabled or worse even destroyed. Even smaller runs at top speed are likely to cause damage that will need to be repaired before it can run at top speed again.
• "Umm...what was that?": The downside to Kiesha's upgraded maneuverability system is that the ship's frame was never built to withstand the forces that would be placed on it when used to full capacity. Excessive use of the maneuverability system at its full capacity is likely to cause structural damage to the ship, possibly rendering it disabled or even destroying it.
• "Ain't Like Dustin' Crops, Boy!": While Keisha's hyperdrive has been heavily modified and upgraded, its navicomputer has not... Because it is still configured to the original 2.0 hyperdrive that comes stock on all OSA-16 Cheron Freighters, it takes the computer several minutes longer to calculate safe hyperspace jump coordinates.
