The Panther LX or '''Panther Clipper''' is a "heavy cargo clipper".<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=94e38570c6&e=0503b30d66 Newsletter #13]</ref>

In previous iterations of the design, the craft was one of the largest vessels in the spaceways in terms of trading, significantly larger than the [[Anaconda]], and alleged to buy entire planets out of cargo. In this regard it can be seen as the next step upwards for a commodity-trader from the [[Lakon Type-9 Heavy|Lakon Type-9]], carrying significantly more cargo and able to mount one or two fighters in it's cargo bay.

Being as it was one of the largest vessels in the space lanes and carried more cargo than any other freighter, it was also regarded as one of the slowest and most lumbering vessels yet capable of turret mounting planetary bombardment class weaponry that could destroy most enemies in one well placed single-shot . Panther pilots would blatantly ignore smaller pirate vessels as their shots bounced uselessly off of the ship's mighty shields.

The modern inception varies drastically in concept artwork from the original, the Panther wasn't an atmos vehicle and thus aerodynamics was not an issue, this bulky 'flying brick' design was one of it's key features and spoke more to it's gargantuan size and use in non-atmos environs than it's new implementation is rumored to be. In fact, the new version seems to be significantly smaller, and more akin to an Anaconda; it is unknown if there is a backstory justification for this drastic shift from design.

The Panther will not be implemented any time before mid 2015.{{cite}}

There are three main categories of planets: Solid planets, water giants and gas giants. Even moons are considered as planets.

{{Template:Remark
|text = Scientific notes: Actually the term planet refers to celestial bodies orbiting a star with a gravity in a specific range. The gravity of a planet has to be strong enough to hold fluids in a stable state (hydrostatic equilibrium) which prevents them from escaping the planet and low enough to prevent nuclear processes to start as in stars. Some astronomical bodies, we call planets, are not considered as planets by this definition. Moons are natural satellites orbiting a planet and do not fall into the category of planets. However, some natural satellites are considered as planets because they fit their definition.}}

|Rocky ice world. Typically formed in the cooler regions of star system these worlds have a small metal core and thick rocky mantle with a crust of very deep ice. Geological activity is common in these worlds because of the large quantities of volatiles in the crust, often creating a thin, sometimes seasonal atmosphere.

|Helium-rich gas giant

|Very Rare
|Helium-rich gas giants have a greatly inflated percentage of helium compared to the hydrogen in their atmosphere. Much of their hydrogen has been lost over time because they have insufficient mass to hold on to it. It may also be because temperatures in their past were much higher, driving off the hydrogen at a greater rate.

The chemistry of this gaseous region is far from equilibrium, with a surprising excess of oxygen and many carbon-based compounds giving it some vivid colours. As with many such gaseous living systems, it is underpinned by vast quantities of free-floating radioplankton - tiny carbon-based algae, each retaining small quantity of liquid ammonia, extracting their energy from the intese radiation flux.
