Overview

A member of the Neo-Asp family. Smaller and slower but with a bit better energy recharge rate, some cargo space and a 75.000 Cr lower basic price. Based on the designs of Simon B this ships purpose was reconnaissance and scouting. While decommissioned from the Galactic Navy years ago they are still part of some local Navies. Unfortunately the majority of the Asp Explorers are now used by assassins and pirates.

Originally produced by Zorgon Petterson Group this craft is today offered under license from SoloTek Industries.
