Quicksilver

"If this baby went any faster, she'd enter hyperspace."

- Sigarr Halomek

The Quicksilver is the personal transport of Republic Engineering Corporation CEO Sigarr Halomek. The starfighter is a stock A-wing Mark II in most respects, with one important change: the Miradyne 4x-Phantom Jammer that can be found on most A-wings has been replaced by a rare SubLight Acceleration Motor, or "SLAM" System. This is due to the fact that Sigarr is not a dedicated starfighter pilot and thus has no need to jam enemy starfighters, not when all he intends to do is outrun them.

With the SLAM, the already speedy Quicksilver can achieve lightning quick bursts that have been clocked up to an astonishing 200 MGLT's. The trade-off for this incredible power is that it drains all of the energy out of the A-wing's blasters. It also puts an incredible strain on the starfighter's engines, meaning that Sigarr has to keep the Quicksilver in top shape to avoid the risk of his engines exploding when he engages the SLAM.

However, Sigarr considers it well worth the time and expense to keep the Quicksilver around. In addition to using it as his personal starship of choice, Sigarr has been known to race the Quicksilver in events sponsored by REC. As dangerous as it can be, he still enjoys the bragging rights that come with having one of the fastest starfighters in the galaxy.
