Imperial Courier
The Imperial Courier is a fast multipurpose ship just barely larger than the Sidewinder, it is the second-lightest-hulled playable ship thus far but its upgrades are heavier.
The Imperial Courier is armed, shielded and armoured well beyond what would be expected for its size in compensation, acting like a medium-heavy fighter in combat. In terms of agility it ranks somewhere between the much more powerful Fer-de-Lance and the longer-ranged Diamondback Explorer, falling well short of the Vulture, Sidewinder or Eagle.
