The '''Mercury Star Runner'''  is a courier ship by [[Crusader Industries]] that is focused on quickly and discreetly delivering small payloads of goods or data. With features such as dedicated data storage computers and "smugglers' holds", the mercury made a name for itself delivering crucial information into the right hands.

==Features==

*'''Data Storage Computers:''' Built-in encryption protocols, data kill switches, and customizable security allows the Mercury to ensure that private information never falls into the wrong hands.
*'''Scanning Station:''' The ship has a dedicated scanning station that allows for the collection of data on missions or for private resale.
*'''Living Areas:''' The Star Runner can be a home away from home, thanks to its spacious crew quarters with beds, bathrooms, personal areas and storage. The ship also has a separate crew rest room with seating, kitchen and even a chess board table that holds a hidden secret. 
*'''Cargo:''' The Mercury has the ability to store up to 114 SCU of cargo within its hold as well as 114,000K μSCU of internal stowage. With a drop-down rear ramp, it can also carry ground vehicles.
*'''Shielded Storage:''' Some of the its holdings are within a stealthy, hidden set of compartments that can be used for discreet or sensitive cargo.
*'''Weapons:''' With a pair of manned turrets that are placed on top and below the ship, each holding a pair of Size 3 guns, a pilot controlled turret at the front that hold a pair of Size 3 guns and racks that can hold two Size 3 and four Size 2 missiles, the Star Runner can defend itself when needed.
