The Stiletto was the primary ship of the Shoran assassins for
many years until they developed specialized drop-ships and cargo
transports. Quick and agile, the Stiletto is equipped with a pair
of sensor counter-measures. Firstly, it has a jammer that causes
a 3D penalty to opposing detection rolls, and secondly it has a
scrambler, that tries to mask the stiletto's signature as a ship of
another type, causing a 2D penalty to identification rolls, and if
the scanning ship makes the base difficulty but not the penalty, it
will believe that the stiletto is a ship of whatever type the
captain had put in the scrambler.
After the Stiletto became obsolete, the scramblers and jammers
were pulled out for components and for use in other ships. Many of
the surviving ships were sold to pirates or smugglers, or were left
on Shoran for parts or as training ships. After the fall of
Shoran, few of these ships survived, and are highly sought after by
members of the sub-legal community.
