Built for the Ma'Gnar Primarchic at Mal'Gnar El, The Beyond Sector 3002, A864727-C, this is designed as a minimalistic TL–12 spacecraft capable of delivering small teams of special forces. They are delivered to the FEBA by 20 ton Mal'Gnar Class Skiff. The hull is a streamlined needle/wedge fitted with fuel scoops and a purification system for wilderness ocean refueling. A model 1 computer is mounted with scout sensors and enough fuel is carried for a single jump 1. They are built inexpensively and deployed in vast numbers. The carry a crew of two: pilot and weapons officer. The squad of 12 marines is lead by a junior officer trained in forward observation, who is assisted by a senior NCO. They are equipped with chameleon combat armor, grav flight harnesses and Gauss weapons. SOP is for the marines to jump from the Skiff once they enter a suitable atmosphere where they can soar for km and swoop in for stealthy insertions. They excel at covert commando raids, using their talons to shred sentries in near silence. On demand, ortillery fire support is provided by the ship's triple missile racks. Addition battery rounds are often kept in the cargo bay.
