Overview
An offspring of the Kestrel and same like that craft a synthesis between GalCop technology and the high tech from a mysterious Empire in the unknown regions.
Gossip
Overheard conversation in the Benulobiweed Inc. boardroom which was published by SPACE:
Q. "W.T.F. is that ?
A. "A customer said they wanted a Kestrel with more room for cargo."
Q. "Fat-F**ker looks like it's been on the chips !"
Q. "How much money is the R&D costing me ?"
A. "Nothing ..."
Q. "Nothing ?"
A. "Got one of the boys to take a lump-hammer & a welder to a Kestrel hull ..."
Q. "Those are expensive !"
A. "Not if you do it to a ship already sold to a customer moaning about the lack of space."
Q. "That's my boy. I see it now: 'Fat-f**ker by Benulobiweed.inc, hand-built by craftsmen'."
A. "Catchy ... There's more."
Q. "More ?"
A. "There's less metal and more room for parts in one of these; sooo, cheaper to make & fewer Tie-interceptor parts."
Q. "You know I come over all runny when you mention that !"
...
Q. "Slower ?"
A. "No."
Q. "Handles ok ?"
A. "Nearly as good as a Kestrel"
Q. "Cheaper to make ?"
A. "Cheaper ??"
Q. "What I said ..."
A. "Yes."
Q. "Anyone know ?"
A. "No."
Q. "Yes: 'Fat-f***ker, more space, more features, same price !'."
A. "Catchy... Boss ?"
Q. "Yes ?"
A. "Do you think it needs a better name ?"
Q. "No."
A. "I was thinking: 'Merlin'."
Q. "Merlin ?"
A. "A birdie a bit bigger than a Kestrel."
...
Q. "Ooo-yes & also that chap who did magic ! This could be the spell to get us out of the sh*t with GalCop - what ?"
A. "Very good Sir ..."
Q. "Benulobiweed ?"
A. "Don't mind if I do ..."
