Nova Whisper was a modified Lantillian ShipWrights GX1 Short Hauler with a checkered history and long list of owners. The original owner was a Corellian commodities shipper by the name of Tev Driscull. He soon lost it at Elshandruu Pica to a privateer named Dharus who upgraded the weaponry to have 2 concealed concussion missile launchers and replaced the forward firing laser cannon with an ion cannon. The ship also possesses military-grade sensors and terrain-following scanners in addition to 2 shielded smuggling compartments; one hidden in engineering and the other in the starboard repulsorlift.
