A Dutch design, the Widowson space frame was constructed as a pleasurecraft, originally, marketed at the super-rich seeking something more stylish than a shuttle, and smaller than a yacht.

The stock model is decidedly average in the performance stakes, slow to accelerate and of limited top speed. Desperate to elevate the appeal, the Dutch makers paid a fair sum of cash to have the Widowson placed into a modern action holo-vid, with astounding results.

Sales skyrocketed, and soon unlicensed engine augments and upgrades were being released onto the market, with young rich kids and oligarchs paying large sums to have their Widowsons "overclocked". After upgrade, the ship could reach sublight speeds unheard of by other ships of it's class.

Illegal racing circuits sprang up, with the racers pushing their ships closer and closer to the edge. Some pilots even died in their attempts to win, only adding to the mystique and attraction to Widowson circuits.

Crew: 1-3.

Armament: Stock: None. (After upgrades: wild variations.)

Engines: Utrect 640-combination. (After market kits: variable.)

Computer: Personal Data Engine, 2.3.

I like this, especially the engine. Nice job.
