Overview
Manufactured by Outworld Workshops, a rogue breakaway company from Spalder and Prime Inc. which operates without license from an unknown location, the Adder-class craft has dual atmospheric-spatial capability and is often used by smugglers. Pregg's "wingfolding" system permits landing on planetary surfaces. Carries one missile.
ArcElite
The ArcElite lore on the Adder seems to differ from that found with other versions of Elite.
The Adder is manufactured by Outworld Workshops in their newly based laboratories on Eddi. Outworld still insist that their clientele are mostly traders, but Adders are generally flown by pirates. Pregg's 'wingfolding' system effectively doubles the fore and aft shield strength giving the Adder a high DefRat. (Editor's note - the Offensive and Defensive ratings for the ArcElite Adder are almost identical to those of the ArcElite Asp! See ArcElite DataCards for more on this.)
