For many years the gull winged Wraith was regarded as the pre-eminent fighting vessel and it’s only in recent years that it has been significantly outclassed in this respect by ships like the Hornet. A decent sized cargo bay and a competitive turn of speed have contributed to its longevity and it is still a popular choice with those who wish to carry more than just shield units. Its development history is somewhat murky and rumours abound that it was developed at the behest of the pirate clans. The fact that the manufacturers have not sought to deny these stories only adds to their credence, but some suspect that their ultimate source is the company’s marketing department.
