Capsule:  The "Eloquent" Star Frigate class is a very successful one in
the Calamarian line.  It's introduction after the Corellian Incident has
changed the tide of battle for New Republic forces as soon as they showed
up.  Their incredibly fast hyperdrive allows them to be advance attack
forces, as well as catch up with enemy forces that are fleeing.  However,
this very new hyperdrive technology didn't come without a price: there is
a 1 in 6 chance that the hyperdrive will fail, bringing the ship out of
hyperspace.  The reason behind this is due to Han Solo's interesting
hyperdrive, which we constructed the "Eloquent" model.  The Falcon's
hyperdrive was created by Imperial engineers who apparentely did not
finish it, and Solo has had some trouble with it because of it (Hoth
being a good example).  But the advantages outweigh the disadvantages -
the "Eloquent" is a fine class, and can be produced by the Mon Cal
shipyards at a rate of one a month, the starfighters taking another month
for every 12 built.
