Overdue

A Nebula Margin with one utility slot replaced by a weapon mount and its delivery manifest replaced by a target list. It can still dock almost anywhere without attracting attention. The Federation built it to arrive on schedule. Pirates found that 'on schedule' was a relative concept.

Lore

The Nebula Collective runs the most reliable courier network in inhabited space. Their Margin-class docks at every station, in every empire, without a second glance — exactly what a pirate scout operation needs. The sensor suite has been repurposed from optimizing delivery routes to tracking what target ships are carrying and whether they're worth flagging for a raiding squad. One utility slot was sacrificed for a weapon mount, and even that's been fitted flush to the existing hull geometry. It looks like a Margin. It docks like a Margin. The cargo hold still has room for a full scan kit and a fast exit. Nothing about the exterior has changed, and that's the entire point.
