Manta Class Intrasystem Assault Craft

The Manta-Class Light Assault Cruiser is another of the new Jer`Segan
designs employed by KDY. They are small fast and manuverable cradft
bearing two mandible mounted phase disruptors while a protrusion
looking rather like a catwalk over the dish shape of the main body
holds a quantum torpedo launcher. The craft has no hyperdrive and
therefore has to be carried into the system by another craft.
Several bounty hunters have been seen with these ships.
