Description

The Elan is the first commercial ship utilizing the Quad-Vector folddrive which it carries along with a conventional folddrive. The range, using the QVH is 20000 ly, but it's well worth it, since it enables the ship to travel twice as fast as it would otherwise. It's fitted with the most advanced avionics available, and is perfect for transportation of ultra-valuable cargo such as dignitaries and diplomats.
