Overview

Originally known as Faulcon Manspace and based in Reorte, Faulcon de Lacy won the contract to design a GalCop police ship, and created the Viper, which was to earn the company a large amount of money. The next few years saw a remarkable series of mergers and acquisitions which enabled them to become one of the biggest corporations around. Their recent replacement for the now aging Viper, the Viper Interceptor, could be a big earner.

This is by far the fastest regular ship in the Vanilla game, as well as being heavily armed and armoured...
