'Sommerfugl' Science Vessel

The Sommerfugl is a light research vessel, designed to carry out scientific missions both in-atmosphere and at the boundaries between atmospheres and space. An array of onboard sensors and instruments allow the Sommerfugl to extract and process a wide variety of data, including the collection of atmospheric samples, spectroscopy, identification of resource deposits and much more.

The rear section of the vessel is detachable, with the smaller craft being suitable for exploration of cave and tunnel systems, and to increase the chances of survival if the vessel comes under attack from Blacktron forces.

Powered by Galcom Kestrel plasma/fusion hybrid thrust units, and featuring the latest in electronic pilot aids, the Sommerfugl is a joy to fly, and is an essential part of any planetary exploration fleet.
