The personal craft of the noted smugglers Darian Stoll, CBR-
4S4, and Kham, the Nightswimmer has
been modified into an extraordinarily effective smuggling craft.
Capable of outrunning most customs craft, the Nightswimmer
is also able to blow many of them out of the sky. The Turreted
medium guns are only manned if one of the passengers can use a gun,
or if they decide that their mission is of sufficient peril and the
profit margins are high enough to justify the hiring of a gunner.
The 5.5 Charge missiles are a dependable model, with low power
output, and an even lower energy signatures. The primary problem
with the 5.5 was it's low range, which has been solved by CBR. The
missiles used on the Nightswimmer are fitted with discarding
sabot, which allows a good deal more force to be applied to the
projectiles by the launching device. The improvement in range
through this innovation is enough to put the Aether 5.5 well above
the specifications of other munitions in it's price range.
The Nightswimmer is fitted with a pair of transponders,
and can identify itself either as the Aldru
registered Nightswimmer or as the Orion Day, an
independent freighter flying the Imperial flag. Because the
Nightswimmer is equipped with two separate transponder
systems, there is no possibility of detection of overlaid codes,
though a physical inspection of the ship's wiring may reveal the
illegality of that system.
