Mercury-class Runabout
Detailed further here: Mercury-class
The Mercury-class is a class of small but independent starships typically used by Trident Foundries as small couriers and transports.
Designed at the height of the Generation 2 program, the Mercury-class incorporates military grade systems into a small but bulky and utilitarian chassis, able to be used for most utility roles, and can even be pressed into combat if needed due to it's above-average armament consisting of a nose-mounted plasma cannon and twin linked fusion missile launchers.
A plasma drive engine from the Spectre-class and two other custom-built thrusters provide the craft with plenty of pulling power.
Despite it's small size, this class has a fairly extensive interior and provisions for up to six people.
This project originated when Plaz kept reminding me that I never build exteriors for Trident ships (and haven't since I modified the original Quantum-class in early 2015-ish), so I built something chunky that's reminiscent of the pre-Trident Lancia-class heavy fighter that I used to fly around in late 2014-ish.
