History:
The small fighter and personnel vessel helmed by the Arkonian pilot Zho,Kaan. It seemed almost identical in appearance to the 24th century shuttle Alice. It is conceivable that it was more than a match for an Earth shuttlepod in both manoeuvrability and weaponry, as the Arkonians had developed warp drive about a century before Earth. It certainly proved more suitable for adaption to flight in a selenium-rich atmosphere.
In 2152, Zho'Kaan shot down the Trip's pod while he was surveying the moons of a gas giant in Arkonian territory. Selenium in the atmosphere disabled the engines of both vessels and they made forced landings. After initial conflict, the two pilots worked together to build a transceiver using parts cannibalised from the shuttles and sent a message to be rescued before the imminent dawn could kill them.
