 The Asp Mark II began life as purely a military machine, the first production model entering service with the [[Galactic Navy]] in 2878. The enigmatic craft was unveiled after a lengthy period of secrecy, and immediately went into battle in the first (and most deadly) round of the [[Thargoids|Thargoid]] wars. In other parts of the universe, the ship was used as a patrol vessel. Once the ship was effectively superseded by the [[Behemoth]] with a bellyful of [[Viper (Oolite)|Vipers]], the ship was produced under license by [[Zorgon Petterson Group]] and sold to civilian pilots. The main target market was trader escorts.

 The ship has no cargo capacity, and none can be fitted; its only use is as a fighter or courier vessel. It is fast, and with the availability of the full enhancements of [[Military Shield Enhancement|military shield]]s and [[Shield Boosters|shield booster]]s allied with a [[Military Lasers|military laser]], makes a fearsome fighting ship. This has made it popular with [[Bountyhunter|bounty hunter]]s and [[Piracy|pirate]]s alike. If you find an Asp alone - watch out - if it's a pirate vessel, it's certain that his buddies are biding their time and waiting to sift through your wreckage after their Asp makes short work of you. That slightly disproportional hexagon seen glinting in the sun can either be your best friend or your deadliest enemy, depending on whose hands it is in.

 For a ship as popular as the Asp Mark II it is just natural that over the years several additional variants were introduced to the public. Please note that all of them belong to OXP's, they are not part of the core-game.

-Zorgon Petterson Group, in a mostly successful attempt to make the ship more appealing to customers, made a minor facelift to the ship in recent years, creating the Asp Mark II Special. Its performance is substantially similar to the regular version of the ship - most of the changes being cosmetic: enlarged heatsinks around the main engine thrusters and a slight cut-out in the front of the ship, exposing more of the laser barrel, has given the ship a more aggressive look. ZPG simultaneously used their expertise in first-class cabin furnishings, leading '[[What_Spaceship%3F|What Spaceship?]]' to describe the ship as a 'poor man's [[Fer de Lance (Oolite)|Fer de Lance]]'. Considering a new Asp Mark II Special costs 425,000 Cr prior to any equipment fit, it is unsure who 'What Spaceship?' is classifying as a poor man.
