Terrapin

The Terrapin is a deep-space armored scout ship developed by Anvil Aerospace for the United Empire of Earth (UEE) Navy. Outfitted with sensitive scanners, it is used for long duration reconnaissance and leg patrol missions where crew members might need to be separated from support facilities for weeks at a time. The spacecraft is encased with heavy armor that allows it to survive skirmishes with lighter raiding craft. The Terrapin was the first military contract awarded to Anvil Aerospace.
