Conceived in Bretonia at the onset of the Gallic Invasion, the Serenity-class Transport began life as a test bed for a new construction technique based upon prefabricated modules. The concept was to create a mass-producible ship that would be inexpensive to manufacture and easily maintainable, given the shortage of premium quality materials that were otherwise being diverted to combat vessels. The result was a rugged hull with a versatile interior layout - a notable departure from standardised vessels built to maximise cargo capacity.
Despite not gaining as much traction as expected amongst larger corporations, the Serenity was widely accepted on the civilian market as an affordable alternative. Rumours persist about blueprint copies having been sold off to less-reputable parties, correlating with the rising use of the vessel by captains of questionable intent.
Handling
- This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.

Review (4.86)
The Firefly is a decent vessel for those into that genre of ship or just a trader looking for a stepping stone to higher places. It's a good solid vessel for your average mainline trade routes or smuggling corridors. But sadly in my opinion the firefly has more flaws than pros. Firstly; the Firefly is clearly a poorly constructed vessel which can be quite annoying for those who don't really agree with scratchy designs. One of its most disappointing features is the coverage of its turrets. It's a transport class ship, so Class 4 Turrets and Shield mounts are included. But the firepower pretty much comes to nothing when you find that four of its eight turrets point in the other direction; giving you only four useful Class 4 Turrets at any point. So really when it says eight turret mounts, what it really means is four when fighting off pirates or bounty hunters.

The BK-65 "Serenity" is my favorite transport ship. I've owned one ever since it has been extensively modified. Since version 4.86 it doesn't even resemble the original ship design, which now seems to be the basis for the IMG-M2C "Annapurna" Mining Ship. I owned the original version before the modifications and it really wasn't that good. This version is far superior, and makes an excellent ship for a Freelancer who wants the best ship for their credits. I like to use the HN series engines with the red/blue flame & trail, commonly found on pirate, independent, and Colonial Republic bases, which I think match the reddish paint on this new model much better than the original PTE series engines, or the similar CE series engines.
This is still a transport class ship, and uses only transport shields and turrets, however, now 6 of the 7 turrets fire forwards, and all 7 can fire backwards, as well as 3 firing directly below, and 4 directly up. There are 4 turrets on the front mounted engines with two mounted on the upper sides and two on the lower sides. There are two more turrets mounted on the upper rear, just behind what appears to be horizontal bay doors. These turrets all fire forward. There is a single turret mounted on the underside, near the aft of the ship. This turret rotates 180 degrees but points towards the rear. Depending on the exact angle, you can have between 4-6 turrets fire towards each side.
