Overview
Based in the Aqualine system in Galaxy 3, the Aquarius Shipbuilding Corporation has become the predominant producer of ships in the area. Owing to the world's almost completely aquatic nature, the roots of the Corporation are in marine and sub-marine shipbuilding for the amphibious humanoid inhabitants of the planet.
Owing to the unusual nature of the world and the distinct lack of dry land, the evolution of construction has been more nature-based than industrial. The ships tend to have a more organic nature, often constructed using material such as coral and volcanic alloys.
When their ships spread out beyond the locality, this very distinctive construction quickly caught the attention of the ship-buying public. Belying their appearance, the range soon proved as tough and adaptable as their producers, leading to reliance and orders from both the civilian, miliary and Galcop sectors of the market.
Notable Features
Fighter Interceptor from the Aquarius Shipbuilding Corporation of Aqualine, Galaxy 3. A very versatile ship, popular with both civilian bounty hunters, Galcop police and the navy, both of which have commissioned special custom versions.
The Manta Ray is constructed from special coral alloys, giving it extreme durability and light weight, as well as its distinctive opalescent look. Compatible with a full range of standard equipment, this ship is a good alternative for the Cobra pilot looking for something a little more aggressive, at the expense of not being such a cargo hauler.
