{{quote|Based on an unreleased racing prototype, the Mamba is one of the fastest ships in production. It can also deliver a lot of punishment, boasting one huge and two large hardpoints. This emphasis on firepower and speed means the ship can hit hard and fast, vanishing before the target has a chance to react.

The '''Mamba''' is a [[Ships|ship]] | The '''Mamba''' is a medium [[Ships|ship]] produced by [[Zorgon Peterson]]. It directly competes with Zorgon Peterson's other premium combat vessel, the [[Fer-de-Lance]], featuring a similar array of advantages and drawbacks at a similar price point. The Mamba's key distinguishing characteristic is its increased speed potential over the Fer-de-Lance, reflecting its heritage as a racing ship. In a press release announcing the ship's debut, Zorgon Peterson declared, ''"If it's speed and firepower you want, the Mamba is for you. Based on a racing prototype, it's the fastest commercially available starship, and it sports enough hardpoints for a range of devastating weaponry. Whether you're leaving competitors in the dust or running rings around those pesky Thargoids, think Mamba!"''<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c0fae32af3dc5310f13d5f8 GalNet: Mamba and Krait Phantom Released]</ref> | ||
