The Wise Owl is an YKL-37R gifted to the Republic Scouting Service for its first wave explorers-a former rebel blockade runner, the Wise Owl had a long and storied length of service and still proudly bears tie fighter blaster scores on the hull to prove it. Most of the improvements were already done-the original interior was practically gutted to make way for extensive improvements, most of which involved a dramatic decrease in the ships frame to increase speed-in addition to a a pair of custom high speed red-ion engines and a backwash stabilizing system that uses the excess heat (normally an issue in this class) to fuel quick reaction retrorockets-this is a flyboys dream, a cow that handles like a falcon. The vessels original components included a number of well hidden smugglers storage canisters and sensor dampers-these have been removed, though they could be added back in without too much expense. Central to the Wise Owl is its integrated CZ-88 loader arm, which dramatically improves cargo loading and scavenging...even if it makes her system a bit finicky.
