Whirlwind-class Assault Courier

History
A recent design from the Jade Empire Armed Forces national shipyards, the Whirlwind-class serves a unique purpose: it was designed specifically to provide a personal assault craft for high-level JEAF operatives, including Jedi Knights. As such, it is highly adaptable and frequently modified, as well as classified.

The Household Guard maintains a handful of the ships, as does JEAF SpecOps.

Features
As befitting a ship class that is occasionally used to transport members of the royal family, the Whirlwind-class boasts a secondary burst engine system capable of temporarily spurring it to speeds in excess of 120mglt. The booster can provide forty-five seconds of continuous burn, but can be deactivated and used again for as long as time remains on the clock.

The interior of a Whirlwind-class is static-damped and invisible to sensors. The hull itself may be fitted with sensor-stealth plating.

A HoloNet transceiver provides instant communications across the galaxy, and a specialized comm puncher enables long-range burst transmissions through debris and battle static.

The Whirlwind-class is very expensive; few have been put into service.
