Imperial Clipper

From Elite Dangerous Wiki

The Imperial Clipper is the quintessential Imperial ship. It epitomises elegance of form while delivering speed and agility. Because of its balance of Speed, Luxury and strength it is used for transporting valuable items and personnel of importance across the Empire.

— In-Game Description

Built by Gutamaya, the Imperial Clipper is one of the Empire's ships and thus are generally sold at Stations that are aligned with the Empire. To purchase the Imperial Clipper players must have earned the rank of "Baron" with the Imperial Navy. This ship is quite popular with pirates, traders, and some explorers. It is a reasonable pirate ship due to the large cargo capacity, heavy armament and fairly decent speed which allows it to go where it pleases and attack who it pleases. Traders may find this ship appealing due to its superb cargo capacity and defensive capability; while it is more expensive than the Lakon Type 7 it can easily defend itself against a pirate.

The ship's cockpit canopy at the right viewing angle gives the pilot an unobstructed view of the surroundings making the Imperial Clipper very popular among explorers.
