The FWV Small Fry is a vessel owned by Rufus, a Dump Field boss in the Federation of Free Planets. The vessel is currently loaned to the scavver Calhoon. The Small Fry is as the name implies, small. Designed originally for family travel, Rufus and Calhoon have gradually converted it to a cramped toolbox in space.
The Small Fry has enough Cargo space for small hauls, tug lines for carrying large ships, and crew quarters to support four people. Despite the dangers of working in the Scavenging industry, the Small Fry has no armament besides the hardened nosecone designed for pulverizing small space debris.
Yeah, I get to drive around battlezones, wayhalls, and crashsites with absolutely nothing because Rufus 'can't afford the insurance on firearms.'
Real classy guy.
Humble Beginnings
The Small Fry is from a class of mass produced Andromeda Syndicate vessels designed for extended travel for small groups. Much of the marketing for the vessel type was geared towards vacationers as a sort of spacefaring recreational vehicle.
The vessel sported well-made rooms with comfy bunks, a kitchenette, and a programmable day and night cycle for adjusting to new locations. While the passengers sleep near the center of the vessel, each room has a built-in camera wall to view into space at the touch of a button.
They fell out of service quick after introduction, with mass-transit winning out in its cost effectiveness. The asking price of the vessel was far too prohibitive for most of the universal consumer base. Hundreds of ships went unsold in Syndicate lots, to recooperate the failure, the remaining stock was sold at a loss to anyone who needed a unarmed travelling vessel.
I love the way you give her a personality of her own. And also Calhoon has great quotes. I wonder what Ja-guen will think of her?
Necromancy is a Wholesome Science.
That's a very good question, it certainly will be a far cry from his normal Jhoutigari patrol vessel! A lot more posters!
