Coluber HUD CH01

The Coluber HUD CH01 is the popular modernised version of a Coluber HUD. But see below for Coluber HUD CH02

Riredi's sodalite orbital station, also designed by Coluber and where this HUD was designed

Overview

The Coluber HUD CH01 is a fully featured HUD with individual scales for each gauge and additional control lights for important equipment. It is developed and produced by Coluber Works and Shipyards Inc. in the Riredi system.

Cargo-ship pilots especially like this HUD because it has an extra big scanner and additional control lights for important equipment.
