Black Crow is, on the surface, a standard Type S scout/courier assigned to Tasmin Crow, a former IISS member, who operates the ship under the service's Detached Duty program.
Appearances can be deceiving. The ship has actually been built to TL15 standards, as opposed to regular Type S ships which are constructed using perfectly functional TL9 components, mostly to save the IISS money (and allow servicing at lower TL facilities). The TL15 design has a more powerful reactor (which is actually smaller than the TL9 unit), more efficient STL thrusters, and a better computer than the standard scout/courier.
Other differences include the removal of one stateroom to allow for the larger computer and avionics. and the placement of two CryoSure™ low berths in the ship's cargo hold.
