Capsule: Stock light freighters are selling incredibly well on the open
market.  Now the Imperial Navy wants one to call its own.  The Excalibur
light freighter was built to race cargo to the Rim and back, and sales
are good, but controlled.  The Excalibur is only granted to spacers who
run cargo for IWS.  After 2 years of continuous service, they are given
to the spacer, stripped down of course.  This way, without knowing it,
the cargo-runners are paying triple or quadruple the price of the ship by
running cargo.  IWS has profited many times by this method, and we are
using the profits to create more ships, and new ones, too.
        To protect themselves out in the Outer Rim, freighters are
equipped with two twin laser turrets, dorsal and ventral, to deter any
pirates after our cargo.  The ships is as fast as a starfighter, and
better armed, also.
        Tactical Deployment:  Since these ships are not in fact part of
the Navy, we are sanctioned to use these ourselves in any way we please
short of selling them on the open market.  They are usually sent out
alone along well patrolled routes, and any that try to escape our
ownership are detonated by the onboard droid brain.
