The Surronians, an insectoid species of long-respected shipbuilders, fell upon difficult times and developed Surron StarTech, a firm to mass produce and distribute their vessels. Their lack of business savvy resulted in dismal sales as ill-conceived marketing ventures went unnoticed by a busy public. At the same time, Rendili StarDrive, long a military shipbuilding firm, was attempting to recoup financial losses with the introduction of a line of public-sector vessels for the interstellar professional. Rendili execs approached the ailing Surronians and after months of negotiations, an agreement was finalized.
The joint Rendili-Surron agreement would produce an attractive, sleek vessel with the Surronian reputation for design, aimed at the spacer market. The Surronians came up with some truly innovative and exciting designs which were discarded by the skittish and conservative Rendili management. Taking some basic Surronian concepts, the Rendili techs instead adapted older ideas (like the often copied Corellian cockpit design) and rushed to production of the Starlight.
The Rendili-Surron Starlight has a bit of Surronian touches left in it. The forward sweeping wing is definitely not the product of older military designers at Rendili. This wing contains the bulk of the Starlight's habitable volume, including the spacious cargo hold. A repulsorlift platform locked into the ventral surface of the wing allows cargo to be lowered and raised into the hold. Materials cutbacks forced a lighter-than-standard space-frame for the hold, so that while it is spacious, it is only rated at 50 metric tons cpacity. The wing also mounts the communications and sensor array.
