Description

The Serpent was one of the most important ships in the Great War and it is unsurpassed by no one else when it comes to avionics and sheer fighting power.

Although it was designed around the year 600 NGST it is still the premier combat vehicle in the Galaxy since it has been continually developed and updated with each year's model.

Not surprisingly it is ludicrously expensive to manufacture and only available to select few governments.
