Overview
Patented by Robert Bream, but not manufactured until Ace and Faber improved upon the original design specifications after the death of the inventor. Later the design was stolen and widely circulated to a number of "back-yard" workshops who produced the ship in vast numbers with many individual variances to protect companies against lawsuits. Mainly used as a single-pilot combat craft, typically pirates.
Variants
The best-sold variant of this ship is, without doubt, the Gecko "Dragon Class" while the most mysterious still remains the Green Gecko.
Trivia
Jack Voysey flies a Gecko in Justice for Mrs Combs.
