		+	I didn't give it much attention, we've all crossed such perennial corpses of a million battles, right?
		+
		+	But I should have, as when I was passing within range the thing suddenly powered up and started firing at me with all it had, hitting me hard. It took me a lot of sweet flying to clear the turret's range, but then I managed to shoot back at the ambushing pirate.

		+	Or not!!!
		+
		+	To my great surprise, the lasers went right by the hulk as if it wasn't there!
		+	"Naa, you just missed", you're thinking, right? So did I, and shot it again and again - to no effect - until I received an audio hailing; a deep and sinister voice mocking me and saying that such a plucky fellow'd fit nicely in his crew.

		+	And his name was... no, I cant!

		+	Oh, how considerate, a drink for the nerves...

 Originally built in [[Sector1/Inera|Inera]] Orbit Space by [[Whatt and Pritney]], the mighty Python has been in service since 2700. This is an old design which clearly shows its age. However, it is cheap for its size and extremely robust. Many a trader has slogged it out in a Python to afford a more modern and sexy ship. If maintained correctly, a Python will go on forever.
-== Notable Features ==
+== Notable features ==
 The vast majority of Pythons still in service are working ships with no frills. The Python is perhaps the antithesis of the [[Mussurana]], which by contrast is fast, lithe and luxuriously appointed (not to mention tremendously expensive). A Python in good condition will fetch around Cr.200,000 on the open market, which is remarkably good value for money considering that it can (slowly) shift 100 TC, or 115 TC with the optional cargo bay extension. The Python is easy to find, and virtually all shipyards are experienced in their maintenance, making spare parts easy to find and running costs low.

 The [[Z-ships_Python_Courier|Python Courier]] is faster, has more missile slots, comes with fuel scoops fitted, and at the same time retains the shape and sturdiness of the original design.

 [[Image:pc1.png|thumb|120px|right]]
-Bringing the Python right up to date, the Gerege Federation SpaceWorks have recently announced the Python Clipper to complement the popular Boa Clipper. The [[clippers]] are long-legged fighting transports, with a trade-off between reduced cargo space and better handling and speed. They come as standard with Fuel Scoops, Heat Shielding and suplementary external fuel tanks containing 4LY of fuel.

 Recent developments has seen a more exclusive and expensive model hit the market, namely the [[Python ET Special]].  It offers considerable improvements to its predecessor in terms of speed and maneuverability at no expense of cargo space, although its hull is slightly less robust than the classic Python.  Pirates who can afford these rides should not be lightly dismissed.
 ====Python Class Cruiser====
 The [[Python Class Cruiser]] was a larger and faster sister ship to the Python, rolling off the production lines at  Inera Orbit Space along with the Python, production beginning in 2720,  production ceasing at around the same time as Python production ended.
