The '''Anaconda''' is a large [[Ships|ship]] produced by [[Faulcon DeLacy]].

=== The Big Three ===
It was considered by the independent pilot community as one of "The Big Three". It was the third, most expensive ship on the market behind the [[Federal Corvette]] and the [[Imperial Cutter]]. However, the release of the [[Panther Clipper Mk II]] and [[Caspian Explorer]] moved it to fifth place. The Federal Corvette is specialized for combat, the Imperial Cutter is a multirole ship with exceptional cargo capacity, while the Anaconda is a jack-of-all-trades. It's competitively adaptable for [[combat]], [[Miner|mining]], [[Trader|trading]], or [[Explorer|exploration]]. The Anaconda serves as a light cruiser or frigate in some navies. It has one of the highest potential jump ranges after [[Engineers|engineering]], making it a popular choice for long-distance journeys. DeLacy will launch the refined successor, [[Anaconda Mk II]], in October 3312.
