Description: The Velacia is a mid-level light fighter available on the civilian market in the Tri-System. Velacias are flown primarily by independent operators, but some have found their way into pirate hands. Good Ol' Boys Haulage, a front for a pirate organization, maintained an Velacia as part of its arsenal. Three of the Tri-System's most noteworthy pilots fly Velacias: Lazenby Simpson, Brad Califaryan and Ignatius Furorum.
The Velacia entered service before 2767. Notable Velacias include D200_388L (2767), H643_354D (2786), Z234_243D (2787) and G568_32DY. G568_32DY was stolen from Mendra Space Port in 2790. H643_354D is unusual in that it has been granted an official License to Kill.
