The Skecis is a mid-range medium fighter available on the civilian market in the Tri-System. The design was followed by the unusual PL3A Skecis MK II, which differs in many respects. While the Skecis MK II is not necessarily a superior fighter, its lower price tag makes it a more common design. The Good Time Gang, a group of smugglers, included a pair of Skecis in their operations.
The Skecis entered service before 2781. Notable Skecises include A364_452B (2781) and X867_3347H (2785). X867_347H is licensed to travel only in the Hom System.
