The Specter

[Corvus]

The Specter, produced by the aerospace division of Sirius Cybernetics cooperation, was designed to be the fasted one-being spaceship in history. And, it was.

Initial excitement over the Specter suddenly dried up after its first day on the market, after several well-known space racers died in their Specters. For, although the Specter was phenomenally fast, it also had steering that was worse than an Arcturan Mega-whale's.

The Specter also holds the Galactic record for the shortest time on market, as it was banned only three days after being put on sale. By this time, however, several planets had already been destroyed, as the sheer kinetic energy was enough to create an impact on the scale of a large asteroid.

Nevertheless, Sirius corp. still continues to sell these vehicles on its own version of the black market. Dangerous and uncontrollable though it may be, it is still sought by extremely rich idiots seeking to impress other extremely rich idiots.

As for the color scheme: I intended it to be completely white, but there was one white slope that I couldn't find. So, I put in the black stripes. Although now I think I could have added more black...

C&C always welcome.

That's a very nice design. I really like the the overall look.

Very cool looking little spaceship, Mr. Mandalorian; too bad it was designed by the Sirius Cybernetics cooperation!

Apart for the steering that was worse than an Arcturan Mega-whale's, did they implement it with GPP (Genuine People Personalities) technology, too?

Thanks for sharing and for keeping up the good old THHGTTG memory

Unfortunately GPP's were never installed, as they were still experimental at the time. Unfortunately, the only personalities the designers could get were Italian taxi drivers and nagging in-laws, which as you can imagine never went over well with the focus groups.

Oh yes, I see how that can complicate the Sirius Cybernetics Corp.'s sales.
