Wildly expensive, these handcrafted ships were made from 2534 until 2646, and each one took an artisan over six months to make. They were originally built for the Pyracan government for political and diplomatic personnel, but their legendary reliability means that these ships will often have four or five owners in their lifetimes, with very high resale value each time. In the seven years since they were discontinued, they have gained a cult following amongst explorers, bounty hunters and pirates for their strong sensors and shields.
