Maneuverability: The Alabaster handles very well for a freighter, though freight is its secondary role. It has a distinct edge over other freighters, but it still isn't recommended to get into anything more than a brief dogfight.
Description: The Alabaster is a popular Outer-Rim freighter named after the polished white showroom floor finish. Ships in service for longer than a month tend to have that sleek finish pitted and darkened by space travel. It has stronger shields and more weapons than standard freighters, and is faster too. This however has made it extremely popular with pirates and private security. Additional cargo space can be removed to make room for more crew or more weapons. That being said the engines are an easy target, and is by no means a true military-quality vessel, but poorer systems still use it as a decently effective customs vessel.
