A faster-than-light, spaceworthy vessel created by Veldt Star Industries as part of its groundbreaking Pantheon Collection, and one of the first commercial starships to be equipped with a proprietary Astrum Injection Motor (AIM) Drive. The Estir is the most affordable ship of its range, and is capable of accommodating up to two humanoid beings comfortably.
Like many starships designed by Veldt Star Industries, the Estir’s chassis allows it to be equipped with a number of modular additions, including living quarters with varying degrees of luxury and extra cargo space. This flexibility, while maintaining a relatively compact profile, makes the Estir a popular choice for both long-distance commuters and “last parsec” delivery drivers. The vessel is sold as standard with a single-person bunk, enough plumbing for a small combi-cleaner, a little cupboard space and a refrigerator, enough to survive long flights if one is willing to sacrifice creature comforts and arrive a little dishevelled.
Though the Estir’s shields can ward off most environmental hazards, one popular after-market modification has been the addition of weapons systems common to military fighters, such as plasma strobes and thermal flack launchers. However, when polled, most pilots admitted reluctance to actually using these weapons, hoping instead that their mere presence would be a deterrent to aggressors such as pirates or GLoW agents.
CITIZEN ADVISORY ADDENDUM: Known fugitive and ex-Curator of Aglostarros University Museum ENDELLE STROTH is believed to have fled the Coreworlds in the Estir-class vessel “LOOKING GLASS”. If you sight this vessel, NOTIFY AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY.
