Pursuit
Class
Materializing out of darkness, a small starcraft hurtles toward 'Stardust II,'
a lumbering imperial cargo cruiser.
Aboard the League of Merchants' pirate Cutter "Lightfoot, "Captain
Hari Xutii gloats: "Poor 'Star-dust,' brimming with Molecutronic components,
just begging us to unload them." He turns to his gunner: "Fire as
we pass, Rykar. Try not to shake up the cargo bays."
Rykar nods with a leer and unleashes a barrage of energy weapons. His aim is
perfect, targeting the engine to leave the precious cargo intact.
But instead of piercing the freighter, the scorching beams splash off the hull.

better defenses then she should. "It's a trap . . . a disguised cruiser!
Get us out of here!"

Vessel
Compendium #2
Patrolling the trade routes and the approaches
to many of the
galaxy's riches are the smuggler's bane — the Pursuit Class.
Ranging from the incredibly fast and maneuverable Pursuit TMACs
(Two Manned Attack Conveyances) to the overwhelmingly powerful
Heavy Pursuit Cruisers, these starcraft are often the only major
obstacle to an unregulated profit, both on the Frontier and within
the Imperium. Be very careful when you encounter a Pursuit vessel;
it may be a tool of one of the Major Houses, it may be one of the
raiders of the League of Merchants, or perhaps just a pirate craft
out to make a little profit.
