STRENGTHS:

• Advanced Multi-Configuration Sensor Array: The custom sensor array on the B/N-1138 Light Freighter has been extensively modified, integrating a diverse range of receptors and advanced sensor transceivers. These enhancements provide the freighter with unparalleled sensor clarity, allowing it to detect other ships at significantly greater distances. It can even pick up on vessels nearing hyperspace exit points, offering the crew an early alert to potential threats. This extended range and precision give the crew crucial time to prepare, evade, or avoid detection altogether, reducing the likelihood of unwanted encounters or conflict.
• Stygium Cloaking Device: The addition of the Stygium Cloak elevates the B/N-1138 Light Freighter's already exceptional sensor capabilities by enveloping the vessel in a near-impenetrable veil. Unlike lesser cloaking systems, which only disrupt enemy sensor readings, the Stygium Cloaking field renders the freighter completely invisible to the naked eye. This seamless integration ensures that the ship remains hidden not only from electronic detection but also from physical sight, allowing it to glide undetected through even the most hostile environments.

WEAKNESSES:

• Scout Vessel: The B/N-1138 Light Freighter is tailored more for reconnaissance missions than direct space combat, making it an ideal choice for scouts, smugglers, or freight runners who rely on stealth over firepower. Designed with precision sensory technology and advanced cloaking capabilities, this vessel excels at slipping through dangerous territories unnoticed. Its armaments and defensive systems are modest, but this trade-off allows for enhanced speed and maneuverability. In the hands of a skilled pilot, the B/N-1138 can outpace and outmaneuver opponents, ensuring a fighting chance in unavoidable combat situations despite its lighter combat capabilities.

DESCRIPTION:

The B/N-1138 Light Freighter is the flagship creation of the Retrofit Orbital Foundry, a renowned facility orbiting Kesh. This inaugural line of starships merges cutting-edge technology with meticulously refurbished, battle-tested systems, producing a limited run of highly specialized vessels. Engineered with precision and reliability in mind, each freighter is perfectly suited for transporting premium cargo across the galaxy, making it a top choice for those who demand both efficiency and superior craftsmanship in their interstellar travels.

The freighter's reinforced hull, crafted from a durable blend of Turadium and Durasteel, is further protected by a Kiirium-coated finish, enhancing its resistance to damage during hostile encounters. Armed with four laser turrets positioned across the forward, aft, and dorsal sections, the B/N-1138 offers a broad range of offensive capabilities. For defense, the ship boasts a point-defense laser turret and an ECM (Electronic Countermeasures) suite to neutralize incoming threats and enhance survivability in combat situations.

Expertly designed to accommodate various types of cargo, the B/N-1138 features a spacious and adaptable cargo hold. Its modular storage system allows for seamless reconfiguration to meet the demands of different freight, from standard goods to valuable items and, for those inclined, contraband. Hidden, shielded compartments provide the perfect solution for discreetly stowing sensitive or illicit cargo, although it should be noted that the use of these "smuggling compartments" is entirely at the crew's discretion. Dashiell Retrofit, the ship's manufacturer, firmly disavows any involvement or endorsement of smuggling activities.

What truly sets the B/N-1138 Light Freighter apart, however, is its advanced multi-configuration sensor array. This state-of-the-art system enables the freighter to detect incoming vessels from a vast distance, giving the crew a significant edge in early threat identification. Capable of scanning a wide range of frequencies, the array provides detailed intelligence on surrounding signals and communications. When traversing a planet's atmosphere, the system maps surface terrain with remarkable accuracy, offering the crew invaluable data for safe and strategic navigation. This exceptional sensor suite solidifies the B/N-1138 as an indispensable tool for reconnaissance, evasion, and exploration, ensuring its place as a standout in the galaxy.

Very cool sub, but the Cloaking device is a restricted material and because of this, the sub can be only Semi Unique or Unique. I would like to ask you to remove it, or modify the production scale.

Thanks for reminding me MANIAC , I have changed the production value to Semi-Unique as requested!
