The Original Nova Courier was a fine ship in its prime, it's unfortunate the original company had to go under. Ferron was lucky enough to find one mostly selling for parts in the early days before taking over Kuat Drive Yards. Like many plans he had for the company, the Nova Courier was an idea to serve the civilian customers of KDY as they mostly had so many military customers. The idea was to attract everyone, and grow. The Nova-class Courier was designed as a personal Transport to help people get from one place to another, with a large enough cargo hold to carry whatever they needed, whenever they needed it. Along with that, it had a decent lounge area and a defensive system that, at the very least, made slow ships think twice before hitting it.
