Technical Specifications
Function: Multirole Courier

The Ratatoskr-class Courier is built and operated by the Talros Theocracy as a courier between their worlds. While officially classed as couriers, the Ratatoskr-class is able to be reconfigured with a wide variety of capabilities, ranging from the mundane cargo and passenger hauling expected of a courier class, to the ability to mount several small hangar pods to serve as escort carriers, and bases for insertion teams. While they are capable of taking weapons modules for direct combat or missile systems, their lack of armor or built-in defensive systems renders that at a disadvantage against anything except the Initiative's CAMFA vessels and other irregular combatants.

The class itself is named after a squirrel-god from Norse mythology. Ratataoskr was responsible for relaying messges along the world tree Yggdrasil, from the mighty eagle at the top, to the serpent at the base, and back again.
