{{quote|Master Chefs are selected based on genetic markers that tend to favour an aptitude for the gourmet. Little is known about them except that they are kidnapped as children and then trained under mysterious conditions to bring out their genetic cooking potential. The use of Master Chefs is illegal in most Federal and Alliance systems, but is regarded as a sign of high status in many Imperial systems. Many anti-slavery protest groups have tried to free Master Chefs from their life of culinary bondage, yet due to their training, most return of their own free will to serve. Theirs is a life of servitude - they know nothing but to cook.|In-Game Description}}

'''Master Chefs''' is a specific item of [[Commodities#Slaves|Slaves]] in the world of [[Elite Dangerous]].

Rare goods increase in value the further you travel from their point of purchase.

The name 'Master Chef' might be a reference to a misspelling of Master Chief, the protagonist of the Halo game series. The description is close to the story of how Spartans are described as being raised from birth into a life of military servitude in the Halo universe.

{{quote|The Asp Explorer is the civilian version of the military model Asp Mk II's (which first saw service in 2878). Lakon Spaceways now owns the licence to construct these ships and has marketed them heavily at customers looking for their first multi-crewed ships. The ship class has earned a solid reputation for long range missions and those requiring some discretion.|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' has a high jump range relative to other ships in the game and thus is quite good for use as an exploration ship. It has six weapon [[hardpoint]]s and has a good turning radius for its size which makes the Asp good for more than just exploration. The Asp can act as a heavy-duty bounty hunting vessel due to its superb weapon capacity and good manoeuvrability for its size. [[Pirate]]s can also use the Asp to great effect because of the ample cargo capacity, heavy armament, long jump range and large mass (allowing it to charge its own [[Frame Shift Drive]] with minimal mass disruption while also mass disrupting the frame shift drive of most [[ships]]).

The main downside of this ship is the high initial purchase cost and high maintenance costs. Many roles that the Asp fills can be fulfilled with cheaper ships. An example would be pirating which can be done in a [[Cobra Mk. III|Cobra]] whose purchase cost is approximately 5.7 million fewer credits while still having a moderate cargo capacity and threatening weapon armament. Another example would be trading which can be done in a [[Lakon Type-6 Transporter|Lakon Type-6]] that has nearly the same cargo capacity, and costs approximately 5 million fewer credits.
