Bird of Prey

"That project went ahead? Guess I have been gone for a while."

-Tristan Cox,  '...and straight on 'til morning' The Bird of Prey class was the fourth Cluckus Industries design of spaceship. It used Comet Plasma Engines instead of a hyperdrive (TYA: A Questionable Enterprise), and it could only reach Hyperspeed 4. To compensate, it was fitted with a Cluckus Subspace Tunneling Device.

It was designed as a battleship, with 4 laser cannons and two torpedo launchers. It is the only Cluckus Starship type to not have a tractor beam.

Birds of Prey have 4 round black shuttles, contained in a shuttlebay in the centre of the ship. They also have swing-wings (Clever Chooks: ...and straight on 'til morning), a unique feature.
