Description:
It's faster, tougher, and more nimble than your average starfighter. It rips apart the dead and carves through battleship armor like blue butter. It carries two hundred scavs, the bane of clone troopers everywhere. It's also useless in combat, and designed solely for salvage.
Life is good when you nestle up to a starship graveyard or a derelict battlefield and start chopping it up. Respect for the dead has its place, but on the Rim, every good bit of salvage can be what puts food on the table and gas in the tank. If you know how to use a rigger table, if you're a deft hand with a tractor/pressor, and if you know your way around scav droids, the Thrifter is just about the simplest boat you'll ever fly. It doesn't have much in the way of creature comforts, though. Think Firespray.
