Dragonfly class open-topped aircar
The United Worlds Commonwealth The Sirius Trade Federation
Back to the Vehicles contents

The Dragonfly class open-topped air car is still a common light grav vehicle. Like all open-topped grav vehicles the Dragonfly is very subject to weather effects, but in normal use is a reliable mode of transportation. Both the UWC and the Sirius Trade Federation produce essentially identical craft of this type.
