The classic Anaconda released in 2856 so a successor was long-overdue 456 years later. It is [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)|FSD SCO]] compatible for faster intra-[[Star system|system]] flying.

The stern has 4 large [[thrusters]] with vectoring flaps. | The classic Anaconda released in 2856 so a successor was long-overdue 456 years later.
