Lore!

Heroes of the Perry Rhodan series used such flying discs for spying and carrying out covert missions. Secrecy was paramount. Earth was hidden, its location a secret. A juicy target for conquest or destruction. The term 'Dark Forest' would be coined sixty years later, but it would have fit just nicely. This shuttle is a successor to the Arkonid Leka-Disc transporter and is based on stolen alien technology. Redesigned to be manufactable with resources available to humans. Owing its existence to aid of alien defector and a friend of humanity, Crest. The Gazelle class of ships served as a scout ship in the early days of the Solar Empire. Eventually evolved into the Space Jet used by successor state, Terra. Source Code My Other Mods
