Pandora-Class Freighter

BARD PAPER: SARA7017

Pandora-Class Freighter

Designed in 1201 the Pandora was the first commercial vessel designed at Hiver Tech. Originally dismissed as, "to expensive to be practical," the Pandora quickly found acceptance among the intelligence operatives of RCES. With it's characteristically "bland exterior" and uncommonly rugged design the Pandora has been utilized with great success on a number of particularly sensitive intelligence gathering operations.

With it's respectable sensor package, electronically masked hull and moderate performance characteristics the Pandora is able to act as a mobile listening post for the Reformation Coalition while still maintaining a respectable profit margin due to the size of it's hold. While it's offensive capabilities are somewhat limited with it's complement of Hokhok missiles and retractable Plasma turret the Pandora begins to live up to it's namesake. Finally, the Pandora's hold has been specially designed to function as either a cargo hold or an adapter for specially designed multi-mission pods displacing up to 50 tons.

The first Pandora was completed in late 1201 and four more were finished by the middle of 1202. Currently, RCES plans to expand it's fleet of Pandora's to ten by the end of 1203.
