Developed in time of Capellans economical crisis was suppose to be a cheap way of extending fighters range. Vessel was proven to be successful in it's mission, while some of talented crews, such as one onboard longest serving Stark named Enola, managed to achieve kills of unfamiliar fighters or VTOLs.
