The Pelican and its predecessors have served the police forces and travel services of Sirius for centuries, safely ferrying prisoners and tourists to their destination and capable of turning would-be raiders into an impressive fireworks display. Modern Pelicans are built in a wide variety of configurations ranging from prisoner transports and raw material haulers to exploration vessels and luxury yachts. They have recently seen a surge in popularity among freelancers thanks to the specialized Cormorant variant, which allows for a smaller crew and heavier armor than the typical commercial versions.

The Armored Transport has earned its name amongst trading vessels of Sirius as a tough shell to crack, and an arsenal with rockets attached to it. The armored transport truly is a pleasure to fly, it's formal, corporate appearance makes it seem legitimate and alongside with its reputation; ruthless. Seven turret mounts capable of mounting some of the most advanced transport defense turrets, and two [[Class 10 Guns]] are stuffed onto this lump of metal giving it an incredible firepower rating for a ship of its size. Popularly chosen as an armory for some of the popular factions in Sirius, it's almost impenetrable shell proves hard to break.

It works fine even with class-5 turrets and much better with any transport turrets, of course (but than it looks so clumsy!). Ship is not so fast, even for a transport, so you will probably switch to turret view oftenly, than shoot and run (but not to fast, and you'll win). Use two Class-10 slots for your favorite missiles, or pulse cannons for a Gun-Boat hunting (yes, yes. Somehow I killed 6 of it, after a long fight, but I was to scare to try something bigger latter...). Be careful when choosing shields: powerdrain of any nice Advanced Transport shields will block your whole powerplant after first shots received!}}

The Pelican and its predecessors have served the police forces and travel services of Sirius for centuries, safely ferrying prisoners and tourists to their destination and capable of turning would-be raiders into an impressive fireworks display. Modern Pelicans are built in a wide variety of configurations ranging from prisoner transports and raw material haulers to exploration vessels and luxury yachts. They have recently seen a surge in popularity among freelancers thanks to the specialized Cormorant variant, which allows for a smaller crew and heavier armor than the typical commercial versions.
