| - The Ilyrian Gnat-class Sprint Freighter is a merchant ship made by SubPro. It is theoretically designed for express interstellar deliveries of small, time-sensitive cargos. It has has been something of a controversial design for SubPro - its fighter-like lines and high thrust sublight drives are not strictly the most efficient for cargo service. Also, like the much larger Lightning-class Sloop, it has been observed that many of the Gnat's characteristics appeal to a less than legal market. Nevertheless the design has proven adaptable to a variety of needs. FLS makes heavy use of the Gnat for parcel service, and for short-range passenger runs. They have also proven popular among numerous small, speculative operators throughout the Mid-Rim, and have even been adapted to military use. Its small size, high speed, and vigorous aerobatic capabilities have also made it a popular craft for recreational pilots, often with conversions to payloads other than strictly freight.
