HON Vassal Class Barge [1 Slot]
Description : Real cheap starter ship that replaces Drone as a much better alternative. Zips around starting sector around 3x the speed of a drone, and can be used as a first auto-miner really easy. Just like having 1 slot ships for the first 30 min -2 hours of play as something very basic.
Lore: The Vassal Class Barge is one of the only few ships of the HON that isn’t exclusive to the nobility class. A somewhat free market or common mass ship that those seeking to stand above the rest and crest above serfdom to nobility can attempt a real swing at. The ship was never meant to be a war ship but it’s fast speed and mobility lines up with the doctrine of the HON ships, and in the unpredictable hands of a superior pilot or crew, can be a shining example for others and bestow the favour of those above them. Outside of Combat, the Vassal is largely a transport ship, ferrying people around local sectors.
