This is an old revision of the document!


The ship is about 30 meters long; a crew compartment and cockpit taking up only about 8 meters of the front and the remaining 22 meters seems to be four huge engines! This ship was designed to test the limits of the word 'speed'. It has enough armour to survive a short battle, but looks to be more the hit and run style of ship. Just behind the crew compartment sits a heavy duty reactor module, most of its power routed into the engines and its sheild generation system. Speaking of that, the shielding system is rather unique. Instead of just projecting a bubble around the ship, the emitters are aranged so that all the shield power can be focused to small areas around the ship. That way, its easier to block larger, single strikes, like that from a capital ship. It has few offensive systems, just two phaser banks and a small compliment of torpedos.

The base colour of the hull is a dark grey, but a black material seems to be speckled on top of it. The speckled material is fused into the hull helps disperse energy, such as sensors and other scanning beams. This makes the ship hard to pinpoint at close range and impossible to see with long range sensors.

All in all, this ship is designed for stealthy approaches and fast get aways. There doesn't seem to be an FTL drive system on board, well, at least not one that's commonly known.
