== Overview ==

As its name suggests the Kestrel has been adapted from an air fighter and while its performance in an atmosphere is very good it is a lackluster interstellar ship. When used by the military the Kestrel is typically fitted with an interplanetary drive and deployed from within a larger mother ship inside the solar system of its target. The larger room afforded by the smaller drive allows the Kestrel to be an effective planetary attack ship when used in large numbers.

When fitted with a military drive the Kestrel struggles to find an effective role. If used it is most commonly seen as a very fast messenger or courier. Its high acceleration allows for the fast delivery of small documents and packages in the military and civilian sector. In recent years the Kestrel has been made obsolete by the larger and faster [[Falcon]] in this role.

The Kestrel is considered somewhat of a "sports car" of ships. Fast but not particularly comfortable or practical.

== Notable Features ==

The Kestrel has a high acceleration.

== Disadvantages ==

Too small for much except joyriding.

== Verdict ==

Useless, for everything but courier runs because even the small military drive is too big for this craft. You can only fit in a 1MW Pulse Laser, and even then you'll have to forego either Scanner or Autopilot if you actually want to take some fuel to go anywhere.

Coriolis Station (Oolite)

== Overview ==

The first operational '''Coriolis''' station was seen in orbit around Lave in 2752, presenting the uniform standard of [[GalCop]] space ports for years to come. Designed at the [[GASEC]] (Galactic Astronautic and Space Exploration Center) laboratories at [[Vetitice]] (around which the semi-functional prototype still orbits) it represented a milestone in space habitat achievement. As previous, far more vulnerable old-school designs were proven surprisingly inferior, and the economic strength of the Galactic Co-operative flexed its new muscles, an unprecedented boom across the known galaxies saw Coriolis stations simultaneously constructed in massive numbers.

== Design ==

[[Image:cuboctahedron-anim-aka.gif|left]]
Though Coriolis stations are by laymen referred to as 'hexagonal in approximate shape', they are in fact cuboctahedra. How the designers initially came to discover the superior solidity inherent in this geometric shape is only speculation, but there is little doubt that their course was staked by the scientific trend of exploring geometric simplicity that signify those times. One unlikely account concerning the Coriolis' conception contends it was a GASEC janitor who presented a model of his own to a scientist in an heated argument over the designs, shouting "cause if it's got movable parts, it's liable to break!"

The shift in space station science that inevitably came about would later influence the dodecahedral ([[Dodo station (Oolite)|Dodo station]]) and icosahedral ([[Ico station]]) designs. Later structures like the [[Torus station]] would abandon this tradition for dubious reasons.

== Variants ==
As the Coriolis stations became 'common sight' in the 8 Galaxies, local developers started to develop more variants. It was often the case that certain life-forms needed adaptations or the stations where altered for artistic reasons.

== Politics ==

Attempts by planetary governments to claim sovereignity over its space ports have rarely been successful, as GalCop har enforced a strict policy to maintain joint station custody, which in effect places it under GalCop authority. By law, a Coriolis or any other GalCop station is politically neutral territory.

== Habitat ==

Being the oldest stations, Coriolis station societies are known to often display wide varieties of humanoids and their well-established cultures, who find the gravitational and respiratory conditions fit for living.

Python ET Special

}}

== Overview ==

The ET special is a modified [[Python_(Oolite) | Python]] created by Eunectes Yard. The hull has been stripped bare and retro-fitted with two top-quality thrust generation units, capable of delivering almost twice the thrust of the Python's original unit. A new bridge has been constructed with fittings for the latest in quick-release luxury life-pods, and even the once cluttered main hold has been extended by five cubic tonnes.

The result is an extremely effective cargo-hauler or dredger.

As the supply of the ageing [[Python_Class_Cruiser | Python Class Cruisers]] diminishes, and given the ready availability of damaged Python hulls for conversion, this frankenship's popularity will continue to grow.

A prototype Cobra interceptor, smaller even than the Cobra Mk I. Development of this model ceased when GalCop decide to upgrade their existing Vipers and Viper Interceptors.

Most Cobra II-X's encountered are copies of the original design which was licensed to independent shipyards in an attempt to recoup some of the design costs.
