Designed by the various minds employed by the Trade Federation, the TF01 Patrol Craft; Razor Pattern was intended to become the premiere Patrol Craft available for purchase by select clientele. While there were many vessels on the market that were suitable for use by the myriad paragons of bounty hunting and law enforcement, it was rare to see a vessel that was capable of fulfilling the criteria of both vocations. Thus, the Patrol Craft was fortunate to find itself situated in a rare position, one that would be ultimately beneficial to those that served the various aspects of the Law.
The Razor - Class, or Pattern - depending on the purchaser - was outfitted with a brace of Heavy Repeating Particle Cannons as well as a pair of Flexible Warhead Tubes. While such weapons were impressive in their own right, the Complement was considered to be less than the average seen on many Gunships or Patrol Craft of the Razor’s size. When it came time for the vessel to be bequeathed with an appellation, the technical architects believed that Razor was fitting - as the swift and nimble vessel could potentially kill much larger prey through a thousandfold cuts.
Naturally, such an outcome was entirely dependent on the vessel that the Pilot of the Patrol Craft sought to engage, and their competency when it came to handling the Starship.
From there, the Patrol Craft was outfitted with a host of internal and external systems that would assist the Pilot in a myriad of ways - helping them complete their duties. The first, and possibly the most important, was that the Razor was capable of supporting life in the depths of space for a considerable length of time. While it’s standard cargo arrangement was capable of storing additional foodstuffs, the ship was able to synthesize enough food - within pre-programmed parameters - for a Galactic Month, before the modules needed to be serviced at a licensed maintenance facility. The rest of the internal and exterior systems, as one would expect, were built around supporting the Pilot in a customizable fashion.
In many ways, the Razor was the perfect vessel for anyone seeking to start out their career as a Bounty Hunter, or to serve as an Intergalactic Agent of Law and Order, or even as a member of a Planet’s Local Militia.
The starship would be everything they needed, and more.
