Description: The civilian version of the light combat vehicle, the Corporate Escort is a small ship used by several mega corporations. The official shipbuilder’s code for the Corporate Escort is the C-13 armed frigate, but most people just choose to call them ‘CEs’. The CE is rather well armed for a civilian vessel, used as an escort ship for important executives or prized shipments between business branches. Sometimes outfitted for personal use by high-powered CEOs or for necessary protection in times of civil unrest, the CE is quite a capable little combatant when piloted by trained crew.

Many companies that commonly use the CE will keep ex-military or even mercenary crewmen on the payroll in order to put a seasoned veteran behind the console, but there is always a risk in putting particle beams and pulse cannons in the hands of a trained professional. Background checks are a must, and few are hired with dubious pasts. Unless of course, that is exactly what the company is looking for. A well-timed CE hijacking and summary attack could be exactly what a hostile takeover needs to ‘seal the deal’.
