Inspired by the great Clipper  ships of  Old Earth's 19th Century  the  Boa II Clipper was developed by  the Gerege Federation Space Works as a  result of extensive market  research carried out for them by respected  pollsters Moori. The  research indicated that there was an un-filled  niche in the market for a very  fast combat-capable  transport, a ship  capable of covering great distances comfortably,  safely, but most of  all, quickly.

To keep development time  and costs down it was decided to adapt the  proven hull of the Boa Class  Cruiser, rather than design a new ship from  scratch. As the Boa CC was  strong, capacious, and very manoeuvrable,  little needed to be done  other than increase the engine power. And they  did this with style! By  enlarging the engine room they were able to  shoe-horn in a third  Stardrive, thus giving the Clipper an immediate 50%  power increase over  the Class Cruiser, and a top speed of a highly  creditable 0.362 LM.

The  trade-off  is a 25 ton reduction in cargo space, but the remaining  150 tons  capacity was considered more than adequate.

In keeping with its role  as a fast long-distance  transport, the Boa II  Clipper is equipped as standard with Fuel Scoops  and Heat Shielding for  Sunskimming, allowing multi-system hops  without the need for  time-consuming stops at planetary stations to refuel.

Of  course all this does not come cheaply, and a factory-issue Boa II  Clipper will cost you Cr 525,000, a premium of Cr 30,000 over the  equivalent Class Cruiser. The Boa II Clipper also comes with a full list  of optional equipment.  "If you can buy it, you can install it in your  Clipper" according to  GFSW's enthusiastic sales people.

Although  sharing the same profile as the Boa Class Cruiser, the Boa II  Clipper  can easily be distinguished by its signature red nosecone, the  arrays  of (very necessary) heat exchangers on the external hull around  the  engine room, and of course the three massive thrusters.
