Overview

Despite it's striking similarities to the GalCop Viper produced by Faulcon Manspace, Ramon Security Limited is strident in defending the fact that the Nemesis fighter is a unique vessel. They justify it's distinctive arrowhead spaceframe by stating that it is the optimum shape to deflect impacts from solid objects, as well as energy blasts. The addition of a lighting array was due to requests from the company's contractors, the Zarausxeian Zero-G Hockey Team Fan Club, as a means to get their team from game to game with the minimum of risk. The world of Zero-Gravity Hockey can be cut-throat, especially with book-making syndicates and even other fan clubs willing to go to the most extreme ends to ensure the team they are backing wins.

As previously noted, the Nemesis bears a close appearance to the Viper, but this is only superficial. Beneath it's high-density sintered Duralium skin, an enlarged and optimised power plant lurks, supplying a greater amount of power to allow for the fitting of greater shielding capacities and high-yield lasers. A disadvantage of these enhancements is the fact that the ship has no usable internal space for cargo, meaning it's strictly reserved for bounty hunters or high-quality escorts, for whom cargo is at best a low priority.

Since it's release, Ramon Security has enjoyed a steady sale of the Nemesis, but as it's capabilities become more well-known and it's popularity spreads, they are assured that sales will step up.
