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 [[Civilian Auxiliary Military Forces Act|CAMFA]] vessels.
