The Dasher II is an all-around upgrade on the earlier Dasher Transport vessel, supporting better manueverability and acceleration, the D2 is the fastest off-the-shelf passenger transport available. Often modified versions of the vessel are used as personal runaround ships or smuggling. The Dasher's high speed, decent maneuverability and acceleration also sees these vessels converted into fighter-escort ships for pirate groups. With only a small cargo hold available, smugglers tend to use them for low weight, high cost illegal items.
