Runner
A faction speed-runner — stripped to the engine and tuned to cross the map at the hard speed limit while barely sipping fuel. Small hold, no guns. It exists to get there first.

The Runner is the cartel's answer to a closing window. It travels at the hard limit the galaxy imposes — every jump resolves in the shortest span physics allows — and a tuned, frugal drive lets it hold that pace clear across the map without stopping to refuel. The hold is small and there is nothing to fight with, because neither is the job: the job is to be the first ship to arrive while the deal is still good. A faction that runs Runners is a faction that has noticed money moves faster than cargo, and decided to keep up.
