Originally an Imperial Customs cruiser, the Gyrfalcon little resembles it's original form. Owned By Regin D'arc, a famous Shallitan smuggler, the Gyrfalcon is the flagship of his small fleet. Painted a uniform white, and now possessing smooth, aerodynamic lines, the Gyrfalcon is an aesthetically pleasing ship, and Regin's pride and joy.

In addition to the systems listed, Regin has made other modifications to his ship. For one thing, it now has a fighter bay. Capable of holding up to four snubfighters at once, the bay usual holds a pair of refitted A-Wings that Regin convinced the New Republic to give him, and the Superlaser, his personal craft, a Shallitan Hunting Ship. The last space is reserved for a passenger's ship, usually Lyon's Arcburner, but occasionally a New Republic X-Wing, or a diplomat's personal craft.

The Gyrfalcon is equipped with a number of internal systems that aid its use as a smuggling ship. Half of it's listed cargo space is in detection proof compartments that will only be revealed by the most thorough of searches. One quarter of that space probably won't turn up even under a full scan. The Gyrfalcon has a number of internal weapons sensors, a pair of independent control centers, and fully equipped facilities. Finally, the Gyrfalcon and its crew have a number of false identities supported by transponder codes and papers. The first is that of the NRS-44 Constitution, a New Republic consular ship. The second is that of the Imperial Courier Blood Runner, and the last is of the personal pleasure yacht Semdor's Folly.
