Overview

The firefly was a derivative of Swift from Benulobiweed Inc.

To quote "The Firefly was an attempt by Benulobiweed to add extra cargo capacity to the Swift by the simple expedient of adding a detachable cargo pod within the open framework of the hull. After a rethink of the Swift design, A managed to rectify the handling dificulties as well as add cargo and crew accomodation and named it the Tepui and a short while after, the Tepui's variant the Lampyris."

Notable Features

Very small, fast and agile, but a little fragile. Beam laser to the Fore with Twin Plasma Cannon to the aft.

Comment

The firefly is unlikely to be available and only two where ever made, you could be lucky and see A or Dr H.Z. flying theirs or simply see it exploding while What Craft have one on test.
