The Imperial Courier is armed and [[shield]]ed well; makes a great fighter in combat. In terms of agility it ranks somewhere close to the [[Viper]]. While it has a good pitch rotation speed, its weak vertical-lateral thrusters cause the Courier to drift a lot more than [[Viper]]. Even though the Courier has the same top boost speed as Viper, it's slightly slower as it can't boost as often as Viper and drops down from the top speed faster.
