DESCRIPTION​

The BD-510 Stargale light courier is a star skiff manufactured by Blackwell Driveworks, an Ord Cantrell-based subsidiary of the venerable Blackwell Independent Technologies corporation which is focused on starship development and production. The BD-510 is one of Blackwell Driveworks' more popular products, and is a staple of small courier services the Galaxy over, not to mention small-time smugglers.

Simple in construction, the Stargale has a boxy fuselage, and is equipped with large drive unit capable of propelling the small craft up to 90 MGLT. Stock, it is equipped with a class 2 hyperdrive. The ship can carry a useful load of up to 10 standard tons, plus up to 2 passengers. The BD-510 has no shields, but is equipped with durable alusteel hull plating, which can take a few hits. It is also equipped with a pair of forward-firing light laser cannons.

Overall, the BD-510 can outpace larger freighters and even keep up with some starfighters, while also having a respectable cargo capacity for its size. The type is a common sight in many starports.
