- Speed and "Comfort": The SH-101 is unusually fast, for a small passenger ship, especially in Hyperspace; it is allegedly comfortable as well, though the truth of the matter is that anyone not flying First Class is packed like sardines, doubly so the poor bastards in Budget.
- Rocky Ride: While certainly fast, the Corex 0.52 pulls vast amounts of power, notably forcing these vessels to drop their shields for about a minute before a jump and preventing them from raising it again for around as long after leaving Hyperspace.
The first vessel commissioned in the Silverhawk-series, Corex's own personnel transportation ships, the SH-101 is the hybridised bastard of frugality and quality, being fast but cramped and sturdy but graceless. It is, however, very good at getting people from point A to point B.
While windowless, these three-decked vessels are outfitted with sophisticated entertainment systems, comfortable seating, and plentiful food and refreshments... in First Class. Business Class, on the other hand, is cramped but otherwise reasonably comfortable, while Budget Class is little more than an unadorned hall in which passengers are strapped into "vertical seats" in order to conserve space.
Naturally, not all routes are born equal and so these vessels can wholly dedicate themselves to one of the above, split their space between them, or be configured for entirely different uses altogether, such as hospital ships or the shuttles of frugal or less influential dignitaries.
