ICARUS TYPE SCOUT SHIP |
||||||||||||||||||||||
The Icarus type vessel is a deep-range surveyor used for scientific exploration and to scout out locations in the deep range territories. Built by the Mitchell-Hyudyne Corporation of Earth, the same manufacture responsible for the Starfury fighter craft and Olympus class Corvette, this vessel has both space and atmospheric flight capability with a large cargo capacity for extended missions and a wide array of support vehicles. Originally designed for military service during the Earth/Minbari war this class vessel became very popular with military affiliated programs such as Interplanetary Expeditions and other organizations in need of atmospheric capable transports. IPX Icarus herself was destroyed during an Earthforce/IPX sponsored mission to Z'Ha'Dum. Survivors of the ill-fated expedition were forced to merge with Shadow Battlecrabs or became willing agents of the Shadows. |
