Dust Devil

The plan is speed. The backup plan is more speed. The Dust Devil achieves this through engineering choices that would get Rim shipwrights arrested in Solarian space: oversized engines, stripped safety systems, fuel injectors running beyond rated pressure, and a hull so light it practically qualifies as decorative. The afterburner pushes it past anything in customs service, but the fuel burn is savage — pilots learn fast that the afterburner is for the moments that matter, not the whole run. Without it, the Dust Devil still outruns everything short of another Dust Devil. The cargo hold is small. The getaway is not.
