Overview

A very small attack craft with incredible speed, used as a fighter and a interceptor. Made partly with the technology from a mysterious Empire in the unknown regions this ship is not imported like a lot of others but a sole design from Benulobiweed Inc..

Right after the first delivery, customers reported stabilizer problems, an issue investigated but never entirely solved. The chairman is on record as saying:

"We don't make 'em cheep & we don't make 'em safe, but by God they go with a bang !"

There has been some debate as to what he means by this ...
