The United Shipyards of Olympus company (Scott en Cott subsidiary) has placed the order for an unusual ship at the request of a senator. The goal was to create a vessel that could traverse both open space and the atmosphere of planets. It also had to have special equipment, which normally suffers from interference generated by the engines. A local design bureau proposed an unusual solution: using jet engines instead of standard ion ones. Since the tender was time-limited, the initial design was based on the aerodynamic forms of jet aircraft, proven efficient thousands of years ago. Recent advertising campaigns for “Bark-2” and “Hellas” had given this shape some popularity in the market, so the United Shipyards of Olympus agreed to consider this proposal. The prototype ship was named “Ace”, which subsequently became the name of the finished model.
The ship’s jet engines underwent significant changes, which led to extremely high thrust values for this class of engines. However, the fuel consumption of a jet engine is significantly higher than that of an ion one, so the ship required additional fuel tanks. Nevertheless, there was still enough space for the necessary scientific equipment.
It is not known for certain when “Ace” became a military ship, but many believe that this was the original plan: to install the latest target recognition system and an auxiliary warp engine under the guise of scientific goals. The UMC has expressed much interest in the interceptor.
