The Octopus is the very latest in Boron technology. Its three legged design is revolutionary and all races are very keen to know how effective it is. It is still thought to be undergoing its experimental trials, but according to information gained by the Argon Secret Service this ship has superseded all expectations and is now in full service. There are plans to build many more.

Very small and very fast. Handling is very light, and feels a bit skitish sometimes, but the Boron pilots make it look extremely gracefull. It carries lighter ordinance that other craft of it's class, but the extra laser mount, with its speed and manouverability, makes it a dangerous opponent, or a useful ally.
