In the game files there are references to an "Encoded Document" that came along with JTL. This is described as space loot and appears to be a datadisk that holds the following information...

Mystery of the Duskrunner


[This document contains a fragment of the book "Mystery of the Duskrunner." A favorite legend among pirates in the Tatooine sector.]

...

No one ever saw the Duskrunner again after that fateful day. The black void just seemed to swallow up the old pirate. Her captain never launched a distress beacon, most likely consigned to go down with the ship as is the ancient tradition. The legend, quietly whispered in the back of the more questionable cantinas, says that such a dishonorable old bandit was denied that honorable fate. They say the Duskrunner still haunts unused Tatooine shipping lanes. That she appears every once in a while to prey on unsuspecting ships that cross her path.

This historian does not place any faith in the wild tales of drunken pirates, but the legend is alive and well even today.

[A small subfile also exists in the fragment's registery.]

"...I know what I saw and I saw the Duskrunner! I've stored the coordinates in this file. They say she can't be killed, but that she'll pay a portion of her loot to any man brave enough to hunt her down and take her on! A false distress signal in the right place...this is our chance..."

The Duskrunner is listed as one of the ships in the files, but there is no indication to what type of ship it is.

Has anyone come across this?

I realise there are numerous assets in the files have not been used, the planet of Taanab for example (there are even meshes for Yoda and pit droids). But there is also the chance that this is in game but that it comes from a rare loot drop. We really can't be sure until it shows up.

Oh and the new weapons would be for the Combat Upgrade in my opinion, and the cybernetic arms were used for an NPC at the end of the force sensitive quests.
