Pegasus Nano-Hive Cutter

undefined

The Pegasus is a class of cutter constructed by the Post-Human Republic. The Pegasus is exceptionally fast and prefers striking at close range, making it almost more akin to a Scourge vessel than one from the Republic. In combat, it deploys swarms of armed nano-drones that are too small and fast-moving for point defences to easily stop. The limited range of these drones force the Pegasus to operate in close proximity to its target, making it a vessel that rewards aggressive-minded captains.

Despite such a risky engagement pattern, the Pegasus requires little support, as its nano-drones can regenerate its hull without the need from repair facilities. This allows it to operate outside of normal fleet engagements, preying on merchantment and outliers before fading away to restore its hull integrity.
