Capsule: The Thunderstrike was designed as a ship that could launch from a space staion or planet, track down smugglers, deal with them and return to base. Core Drive Systems mainly tried to sale the ship to Republic customs offices who wanted to more agressivly stop smuggling and priacy. A handful of these ships were bougt before a competitor relased a superior ship. The republic gave the majority of the Tunderstrikes they had to the Iotrans as gifts. The heavily armed and Spartan nature of the ship fits the Iotrans perfectly. The interrior only consist of a bridge and fairly good size common room, that had an autochef, bunks, and refresher along the sides.
