C.I.S. Challenger

"Hyperspeed Ten, Ensign."

Mrs. Pennyfeather,  'The Greatest Challenge' The C.I.S. Challenger (SL-CHL-001) was a refit Solar-class Cluckus Industries spaceship.

Instead of a hyperengine, it had two large nacelles that created a propulsionised subspace bubble around the ship, much more reliable than a hyperengine. With this addition, the Challenger now had 25 decks, instead of the usual 16 of a Solar-class.

However, the usual hyperengine was an optional extra, and when attached, it allowed the Challenger to theoretically reach hyperspeed 10.4.

The Challenger 's dome section was actually the reused dome section of the C.I.S. Yamato, the only remaining intact part of that ship.

The Challenger was captained by Mrs. Pennyfeather. __NOINDEX__
