CUTLASS

  The Cutlass mark I was developed during the 3rd civil war on Melus II
around the beginning of Emperor Palpatine's reign.  It was strictly a
short range fighter and had no hyperspace capabilities.  It was used
mainly as an attack craft for knocking out enemy satellite installations,
as well as an anti-tank weapon.  Very few of these made it off the planet
and only the Rebel cell in the sector ever used the ship, other than the
King's Army on Melus.
  After the mark II came out, used mark IIs popped up everywhere.
Especially popular with mercenary and pirate groups.

CUTLASS II

The Cutlass mark I was developed by during the 3rd civil war on Melus II
around the beginning of Emperor Palpatine's reign.  It was strictly a
short range fighter and had no hyperspace capabilities.  It was used
mainly as an attack craft for knocking out enemy satellite installations,
as well as an anti-tank weapon.  Very few of these made it off the planet
and only the Rebel cell in the sector ever used the ship, other than the
King's Army on Melus.
  The Cutlass mark II was in the planning stages during the Battle of
Endor.  It did not see production until 2 years afterwards.  The mark II
utilized the basic design of it's older brother, yet opted for hyperspace
capabilities over the mark I's incredibly fast atmospheric speed.  As well
as the hyperdrive, the mark II installed more powerful shields, better
sensors,  and some more weaponry.  Besides the ion cannons and the
gattling gun the first Cutlass had, heavier lasers were installed and two
proton torpedo launchers replaced the 6 clumsy rocket mounts.
  The Mark I has become a favorite among pirate groups, and some of the
wealthier pirates have even begun using the Mark IIs.  The ship has even
seen use by the New Republic, which purchased a good number of the Mark
IIs.

Game Notes: For any pilot to go to a full level X flight, he must have
mindlink implanted in the base of his skull[Same operation as DVCS in
Cracken's Field Guide] which makes him literally able to feel any
damage to his ship.  This adds +2D to all related flight skills including
weaponry when in Level X mindlink.  Also once every 10 turns the pilot can
use the ships Icefire rockets which add +600kmh to the maximum speed for
that round.
