Name: Police Enhanced Assault Shooter.

Length: 108 Studs.

Weight: heavy, but swooshable.

Number of SHIPs built: 2 (the other one was Space Police also).

Story:

The Space Police were realising they were losing the battle against the increasing threat of the Blacktron forces. The SP assembled a small team of elite space commandos who's job was to quickly board and take control of Blacktron ships and small installations. In order to accomplish this, a specialised ship needed to be constructed. This is that ship.

Code named PEA Shooter due to it's highly focused weaponry which is designed to punch a small hole in the heavily armoured hulls of enemy ships and smaller space stations. Its prime function is to warp in at extreme speeds, blow a hole in the hull of a ship, with the commandos then flying in with their jetpacks and quickly over-powering the bridge of the enemy ship. The weaponry is set to forward firing only, meaning it requires escorts if it encounters multiple enemy craft.

Powered by two massive warp drives, this ship is capable of reaching speeds of over 8x the speed of light. For non-warp flight and maneuvering, it also has 4 large combustion rocket boosters. These two engine types enable the PEA Shooter to warp in from outside of sensor range and have the commandos board the target ship before the enemy have time to react.
