                      '''History & Data '''

When the settlers for Claremont awakened from stasis they found that they had been out of communication with those who had sent them out on their long voyage and they found that surviving was more important than building a long range communications array off the bat.

Once they had established their colony and decided on their independence they realized that they needed to create and equip a military force to protect that independence even though their former masters wouldn’t be able to reach them any time soon.

Rather than build several specialized craft they decided to build a fighter that would cover multiple rolls and thus the huge Manticore was built to cover everything from dog fighting to bombing runs.

The Manticore is armed with a 36 mJ Particle Cannon as well as three massive missile bays capable of holding up to 3 HASTE each.
