COBRA CLASS COURIER

FORMER SOLOMANI CONFEDERATION


Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Alston league navy operates four vessels of this type as armoured scout/couriers. The Cobras were originally designed during the closing stages of the self destruction of the Third Imperium by the Solomani as a low-tech courier. Many surviving ships of the class found their way into the hands of corsairs, and it was from this source that the Alston League obtained the four vessels it operates.
