 A strong and powerful heavy interceptor, based on the design of the first generation of the [[Asp Mark II Special]]. Substantially larger than the standard [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mark II]], with a higher maximum speed, more energy banks and 2 pylons. It is purely a fighting ship, having no cargo capacity.
 The Asp-X was licensed for civilian use and, although a rare sight, these ships could be encountered occasionally. They are favored by hunters and assassins and, inevitably, also by pirates and brigands.
 == History ==
 Some 25 years ago, [[Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy]] decided to sponsor a design competition to stimulate development and to give shipyards a platform to showcase what they could do. Known as the 'X-ships Challenge', the brief was to design either a light, medium or heavy Interceptor. [[Zorgon Petterson Group]] used the blueprints of the first generation [[Asp Mark II Special]] to create the Asp-X and won in the category heavy Interceptor.
 In the belief that a well-armed civilian population was the best defense against the Thargoids, HIMSN offered the plans to build these ships for general sale. [[GalCop]] was initially very concerned about this, having serious misgivings about military ships being made available on the civilian market, but as similar ships to these already existed they decided to agree to the release of the plans.
