From publisher blurb: The Swiftsark is a clipper, designed to move small, valuable cargoes at enormous speeds. It is specifically designed to bring the first harvest of luxury crops to market, in competition with numerous other merchants looking to earn that premium for being first into port. This makes ths spaceship an interesting design compromise. It is long and thin to take advantage of the FTL bubble it rips in space. It is faster than most navy ships, ideal for blockade running, but doesn't have the guns or armor to defend itself, if caught. It's a spaceship for speed demons, captains who are born to run.
