Overview

A member of the Neo-Asp family. Smaller and slower but with a slightly better energy recharge rate, some cargo space and a 75,000₢ lower basic price. Based on the designs of Simon B, this ship's purpose was reconnaissance and scouting. While decommissioned from the Galactic Navy years ago, they still form part of some local Navies. Unfortunately the majority of the Asp Explorers are now used by assassins and pirates.

Originally produced by the Zorgon Petterson Group this craft is today offered under license from SoloTek Industries.
