These dependable craft are easy to maintain use & considered to very valuable for two reasons. The parts for these craft can be produced by many cultures just making it into their atomic ages. Because the low out put required for the craft many low yielding nuclear fuels may be used for the reactors. The craft themselves can use a ley line supplemented system to skate slight beyond the local space time continuum. This enables the craft to take full advantage of the time delay created by this effect. 

The number of races who have used these craft since their creation by the Altan is countless. The craft still fetch a good price upon the open market & in certain pirate quarters of the universe. 

  The Derro have several variations upon the usual designs & are often seen within certain quarters of Derro terrority. Many mythos races will fire on sight of these craft which has made the derro install magnetic & sonic stealth fields. These will last as long as a slave with super science powers is installed in place. The Derro often have them medically slaved into the mechanisms that run the ship as well as the index.
