The descendant of the original exploratory vessels who charted the fringes of the Crow Nebula, these small vessels once represented an intense investment with dubious return for the private firms who constructed them with the limited resources at their disposal. In modern times they've become the trademark of startup corporations and capital refuel vessels. A robust shell coupled with generations of refinement in transport security for their hazardous cargo has produced a vessel capable or surviving the treacherous eddies of the Crow Nebula.

This ship is equipped with the basic tools required to glean an additional yield, when coupled with specially tuned mining equipment, of harvested alien organisms.
