IMPORTANT: If you download, get rid of the elevator on the front left wing so that it doesn't roll when pitching.

Planetary variant of the Red Hand Confederacy's flagships. It features an almost ancient technology known as a "hydraulic system," which controls the "elevators" and "ailerons" of the ship. This technology hadn't been mainstream in over 100 years, though it had been used on Terra-like planets to conserve battery power. Back to the ship, however, it is well-armored but built from different, large sections being hooked together rather than the foil simply being molded into various tiny or just one large part. This was done to reduce costs, as they are prone to crashing if flown improperly. It has a decent cargo space and a cabin that can fit up to 20 people without getting overcrowded. This makes it popular among traders and transportation services, and one of the few Red Hand ships to follow the same format as the Terran Federation of slow-turning, but powerful and armored ships. However, this is more of a balance between the two styles because it doesn't have the nearly impenetrable armor of the Terrans or the lightning fast thrust & turn speed of the Confederates. Did I mention that it's possible to mount a turret onto almost any part of the fuselage? It is also armed with two monstrosities that combine the power of a Confederate autocannon with the firerate of a Terran assault blaster. In reality, it is actually six autocannons sharing the same battery and barrel but firing at separate times. There could have been just one extremely powerful autocannon, but the process of simply transferring the energy from the large battery to the weapon to fire would make the wings explode and cause a hull breach in the cargo bay, where the battery is placed. If all six autocannons can fire at once, but that would cause the ship to slow down from recoil and the barrels to melt.

Note: Civilian variants are either armed with basic assault blasters or no weapons at all, along with a smaller battery. If a civilian is caught with a military issue battery or weapon, they will be arrested, fined, or have their ship or weapon confiscated.
