Description: The Nimbus is a popular courier vessel. Formerly a prototype strike bomber developed for military use, instability in tight turns and some common combat maneuvers led to contracts being canceled. Rather than let the money spent on development go to waste, the armament was toned down and the bomb bay was reworked to serve as a small cargo bay. It retains the hardened hull of a bomber, affording it a useful degree of short-term toughness. Now it's an excellent ship for the quick delivery of sensitive information, materials, or persons. Given the lack of long-range communication infrastructure in the Outer Rim, this is a massively popular courier for entities operating in that region of space. A handful of wealthy individuals have further reworked the ship to serve as a small luxury yacht.
