The Cobra Mk. III is a larger and more popular version of the cobra Mk. I. It was first seen in service in 3100 AD, originally manufactured by Cowell & McGrath Shipyard, Lave. Since Cowell & McGrath's acquisition by Faulcon de Lacey it is now branded as an FdL made ship.
It is equipped with several special features, including Zieman Energy Deflection Shields, mountings for four Ingram 'Pulse Lasers ', a Lance & Ferman Seek & Kill missile system, and Kruger "lightfast" motors from Irrikan ThruSpace.
