Description
The Wedjat Gunship (aka. Angel Gunship) is a very versatile corvette-class anti-capital ship.The idea behind Wedjat was to have a fast, reliable and all-terrain air/spacecraft for assaults at capital ships, space stations and planetary bases. A ship that could go in and out any kind of terrain, from near space to deep space, from Supernova filled camps to black holes neighborhood, from oceanic planets to toxic or ultra-hot moons.
As answer, the Wedjat have very powerful weapons, high mobility (including VTOL capacity) and a small crew of just two soldiers, one pilot and one artilleryman/co-pilot.

There is no way that hing is only 30 tons. A hollow rectangular cube of 90mX50mX15.9M, with a shell thickness of 1cm, and made of carbon steel, weighs 1,150 tons. Heck, a box with identical dimensions and shell thickness weighs 50 tons. And this thing can fly at nearly 7.9 million times the speed of light, but can't break the sound barrier in atmosphere?
The model is very nice and intricate, but your technical specs are a bit 'tarded.

Hehehehehehhe
Its a bit 'tarded arguing about the specs of a fictional starship... like the Star Wars Death Star converging lasers or X-wings flaps.
But probably in the far future this ship is made, there will be materials very lighter than the ones used today. Probably materials built atom by atom to be the lightest possible and the most resistant possible, or even atoms built part by part to form new elements
Yes, its not designed to break the sound barrier inside atmosphere. But for a ship that can enter and exit planetary atmosphere, its a bit 'tarded to travel inside it. Its easier to just exit the planet and use the space near-vacuum minimum attrition to travel faster to another part of that planet, saving fuel and attrition damage.
And probably faster-than-light travel is not made by just igniting the engines. Probably you need to create a wormhole or changing the ship to energy and to mater back to do the trick, and both are not achievable inside a planetary atmosphere (or potentially dangerous as hell)

Except that smart people have invested time in giving very plausible specifications for the ships in Star Wars. At the very least, you could TRY to produce realistic specs. You could even use real vehicles as a basis for your guesses.
For instance, an American M-1 Abrams tank weighs 80 tons. It has a length of 7.93 meters, a width of 3.66 meters, and a height of 2.44 meters. That means that the tank has an weight of 539.7 kilos per cubic meter.
