Overview

The "Mega Bat Mark I" is a, rather maneuverable, medium fighter/escort. The design by Biarge United Shipyards is based on the "Fruit Bat" and the "Flying Fox" from SensimTrading.

This ship is often used by pirates, assassins, hunters and escorts alike.

History

The "Fruit Bat" was designed for cheap mass production by the now defunct CLAN Ltd. from Erbiti. The production facilities were later bought by SensimTrading and relocated to Anisor.

The ship was not a very popular model, but when MASSTrans GLC bought into the traditional family business (holding 49.90 percent of the shares), the production of a slightly enhanced version under the name of "Flying Fox" started. This craft was exclusively sold to MASSTrans' subsidiary firm MT SEC.

While sales of the standard model have been rising slightly, the demand for a customer version of the "Flying Fox" are estimated to be even higher. When MT SEC, with allowance of their parent company, started to open their escort services to private traders, an enhanced model was needed. This time, the management contacted Biarge United Shipyards and asked for a design.

The result was the "Mega Bat Mark I" with a larger hull, faster, more energy, a better recharge rate and 3 front lasers. This ship, partly produced at SensimTrading and partly at Biarge United Shipyards, is slowly replacing the "Flying Fox" at MT SEC but is also available on the open market and highly requested.
