Python Mk II

Manufactured by Faulcon deLacy, the Python MK II is a redesign of an iconic vessel. Reimagined as a combat ship that sacrifices internal space for increased manoeuvrability, firepower and defensce. With six hardpoints, it can go head-to-head with larger ships, while its improved agility allows it to handle smaller vessels without having to reply on turret weapons. The redesigned hull offers superior management of overcharged Frame Shift Drives. The Python Mk II has been designed for medium-size landing pads.
