===== Description =====

The "Charon Smuggler" is a medium-sized transporter, predominantly favored in smuggling circles. Despite its somewhat shabby appearance and lack of strength compared to larger ships, it excels in speed and surprisingly ample cargo space. This combination makes it an extremely functional vessel for smugglers who prioritize fast, inconspicuous transports. The "Charon Smuggler" is perfectly suited for slipping undetected through checkpoints or swiftly escaping tricky situations, while still capable of carrying a considerable amount of contraband.
