      The Thunderbolt is a spy ship that was introduced
 simultaniously with the X-Wing, and has seen extensive use since
 then.  The usual mission profile of the Thunderbolt is
 reconassance around the edges of occupied systems, retreving data
 from or carefull examination of proposed sites of bases, both for
 the Republic, and for the Empire.  Those smugglers that have
 gotten their hands on a Thunderbolt tend to use it for very, very
 expensive cargos, as a Thunderbolt can out run anything in
 hyperspace, and just about anything else if it can't get into
 hyperspace.
      To further enable it to avoid pursuit, the Thunderbolt is
 equipped with Phantom Torpedos.  When these are fired, they
 produce a sensor signature that looks a good deal like that of
 the Thunderbolt.  The Torpedo will acelrate away from the
 Thunderbolt at almost the same speed, and after a twenty second
 fuel burn will continue at that speed until it disintegrates, a
 process that can last for three hours.  When the Sensor mask is
 engaged, the signature of the Thunderbolt is blurred enough to
 make it indistinguishable from the pods.  A thunderbolt can carry
 up to six Torpedo, but that fills it's entire cargo bay.  The
 usual load is three torpedos.
