Description

Manufactured by Ares Systems, the Stormrunner was first introduced midway through Era-1.  Larger and more capable than the Aurora class, the Stormrunner is slower, with a longer range it can travel before resupply.  

Designed with a generous rear cargo bay, the Stormrunner is customizable with six mounting ports for turrets or other auxiliary equipment. Crew access is through two airlocks on the lower deck of the cockpit section, and the cargo bay is accessible through a large door in the stern.  The rear section has four decks, with the cargo hold spanning two decks.  The cockpit section has three decks, and the mid-section has two decks.  

Designed for versatility, the Stormrunner is typically used for cargo hauling.  Its combination of speed and potential for firepower make it a favorite among pirates and smugglers.  It is also well suited to the role of blockade runner in siege situations.  Like many of the products of Ares Systems, the Stormrunner was built to last.
