The Mercury Star Runner is a medium sized courier ship developed by Crusader Industries. For those requiring swift and secure delivery, the Mercury fulfills all the criteria of a reliable courier ship and more. Constructed using the engineering and design standards that have established Crusader Industries as the preferred producer for interstellar transport of any magnitude, the Mercury Star Runner enables you to maintain a lead over deadlines, challenges, and rivals.^[1]

Features

Data Storage Computers

Built-in encryption protocols, data kill switches, and customizable security allows the Mercury to ensure the integrity, security, and expediency are the priorities in all data transfers.^[1]

Scanning Station

The ship has a dedicated scanning station that allows for the targeted collection of data from specific sources.^[1]

Living Areas

The Star Runner can be a home away from home, thanks to its spacious crew berthing areas with racks, heads, personal areas and storage. The ship also has a dedicated crew common area with seating, galley and even a chessboard table that features covert functionality. Light switches are available in every compartment.^[1]

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. Brave pilots can also store any variety of snub ships.^[1]

Shielded Storage

Some of its holdings are within a stealthy, hidden set of compartments that can be used for discreet or sensitive cargo.^[1]

Weapons

With a pair of remotely manned turrets that are placed on top and below the ship's centerline, each holding a pair of Size 3 guns, a pilot-controlled turret at the front that hold a pair of Size 3 guns and missile racks that can hold two Size 3 and four Size 2 missiles, the Star Runner can defend itself when needed.^[1]
