Description
The prototype retains paired laser cannon and the familiar command pod while replacing the pilot with remote-control equipment. A longitudinal booster raises straight-line speed substantially without displacing the twin ion engines. Optional shields protect selected test craft, and a slaved hyperdrive allows the control vessel to authorize interstellar deployment.
