![]() A "Shardlight" light freighter accompanied by a drone escort. >> VDEc-23a "Shardlight" Light Freighter >> Overview Likely the single-most widespread ship within the Khol Zone, the Shardlight was an early success of the Vryxport Drydocks Engineering Co. and their efforts to produce generalized hulls for Freelancer organizations during the late thoryxian Colonization Era- the design has been relatively unaltered since. The Shardlight (also known by its generalized serial code, VDEc-23a) is a versatile and lightweight hull, easily produced in most shipyard facilities across the Khol Zone- indeed, this was a major criteria of its design, allowing it to be built by Freelancers cheaply without relying on centralized facilities; the Vryxport Drydocks Engineering Co. has not produce the vast majority of active Shardlights themselves, having released the blueprints as an open-source design. There are two other primary criteria that the Shardlight was designed to meet: firstly, that it be specifically built for the installation of Vivarium Capsules and capable of serving adequately as a drone platform; secondly, that it be easily modified and retrofit for the owner's personalized needs. VDEc-23a hulls frequently serve as independent couriers, VIP shuttles, prospectors, scouts, smugglers, and even light escorts, depending on their exact modifications. They are by default lightly armed and shielded, a necessity for the often "lawless" environments Freelancers operate in. >> Specifications Specialty: Variable Ship Class: Light Freighter Ship Length: 75m Designed By: Vryxport Drydocks Engineering Co.
