Delaya-class courier

The Delaya-class Courier was an Old Republic military starship developed in circa. 4,000 BBY. It was designed and built by Hoersch-Kessel Drive when the company was still owned by Duros.

Description
The Delaya-class Courier was designed to match a starfighter for speed and manoeuvrability. Unlike Corellia StarDrive's Coruscant-class Heavy Courier, most of the ship was habitable. The complex automatic systems integrated into the craft allowed it to be operated by a single person. This aerodynamic starship had an insectoid appearance and featured 21 HKD ion engines. These engines were set in blocks of three on servo-controlled mountings to avoid having manoeuvring thrusters. The courier was also lightly armed and was armed only with 2 rotating laser cannons, 1 proton torpedo launchers. For further agility, a computer system controlled multiple layers of vanes and aerofoils by extanding and retracting them. This ensured that the courier had a good aerodynamic shape during atmospheric travel.
