The flight deck and cabin sit right above the nose, it is 'open top' which is to say the deck is covered by a 'glass house' canopy and offers good all round visibility. The canards and the hull then stretch back cleanly to the wings. Flight control surfaces are mostly rectangular, as are the wings and lift and manuevring is entrusted to its powerful main engines. The ship is simple on a whole and most models didn't offer much beyond standard, as such it is easy to maintain without owner or accredited servicing.

  • The flight deck and cabin sit right above the nose, it is 'open top' which is to say the deck is covered by a 'glass house' canopy and offers good all round visibility. The canards and the hull then stretch back cleanly to the wings. Flight control surfaces are mostly rectangular, as are the wings and lift and manuevring is entrusted to its powerful main engines. The ship is simple on a whole and most models didn't offer much beyond standard, as such it is easy to maintain without owner or accredited servicing. Internal configurations vary but typically there is the crewed area at the front of the ship, with sensor and navigational equipment, a long but low corridor along the spine of the vessel to where the engines, FTL drive, fuel tanks, wireless station (an area marked by a raised section of the hull) are. That all then goes back for a long amount of the ship's length. While it can be flown by a single pilot, it was designed with a crew of five in mind and has a small galley, toilet/shower and cramped bunks directly behind the flight deck. Between these two areas variants can have a cabin or cargo hold with underslung supports and connections for shipping containers to be carried. Range is huge and acceleration impressive to this day; because of this the ship was used by Scorpia at one point for patrol and customs duties (only recently being retired for newer designs). A savvy garage can uprate a fast boat easily and its known for its ease of modification. Most early civilian models came with a top mounted gun and an enhanced sensor suite; as it was marketed as a 'prospecting vessel' to Tauron interests.
