STRENGTHS

Hidden Predator - the Midnight Runner has a cloaking device and sensor jammers that render it almost invisible to enemies when running. The Stygian inlays also provide a degree of passive stealth when the cloaking device is inactive but it is far from perfect.

High performance engines - the sunlight engines make the ship very fast and agile and the hyperdrive can get it where it needs to be, or away from where it doesn't want to be extremely quickly.

Hard to pin down - the HIMS technology and anti-ion emission tracer mean that once it decides to leave, there is little the opponent can do to stop it.

Automation - many of the ships systems are automated to reduce crew requirements and allow the captain to operate most of the ship single handedly, albeit at reduced efficiency.

Hardened digital security - Cass has installed cutting edge digital security technology to access the ships advanced espionage systems that is restricted to her, her first mate Anmetei M’lo and Pilot Redman Reed.

DESCRIPTION

Originally designed and built by Mandalmotors the Sunstar was a commercial failure, not because it wasn't a great hull, but because it was over engineered for the mandalorian Market and didn't exceed any equivalent existing ships in performance.

Cass Gemini’s crew purchased the Midnight Runner, originally named The Way from Mandalmotors at a significant discount after most of its offensive weapons and military systems were removed. Cass, soon after set about upgrading it to her own specification with the help of Techno union remnants that were sent in hiding during the Galactic civil war.

It is a stealth hunter that excels on lighting attacks on vulnerable merchant vessels, it is capable in a fight against light official vessels, but Cass prefers to rely on its speed and stealth to avoid encounters that may cause damage or draw too much attention.

The ship can carry several thousand tons of cargo including at least a thousand tons in a high security vault and has facilities to entertain guests either in a cell or frozen carbonite. There are bunks for 150 persons if required, a relatively small complement for a ship 300m in length, but more than enough for Cass's purposes.
