SS Dragon II[]
The Dragon II is a Sparrow Type Trans-Orbital Shuttle is a type of Personnel Transport Shuttle utilized by the civilian owners and operators, a designation also known as a flitter. In service during the 25th century.
Modified for racing, the Dragon II is operated under license registered with the Vega Transport Authority, and the Collective Sublight Racing Authority, both based in the Vega. The registered pilot of record is Kira Draganov, a reserve officer of the VDF and former Starfleet test pilot.
Background information[]
The Sparrow Type is a civilian designed trans-orbital personnel transport capable of atmospheric operations and spaceflight with limitations to sublight speeds. Design standards limit the craft to standard impulse (.25c) but many have modifications to improve this a great deal.
The Dragon II, like its namesake of the same model also developed by the Draganovs, is heavily modified from the standard manufacturing. With increased power output, more powerful impulse motivators, greater maneuverability, and enhanced structural integrity and deflector systems. The result was a CSRA top time in the 2446, 5th Annual New Dawn Rally, with top recorded speed of .67c. The Dragon II was entered every year from 2444 to 2451, placing in the top three consistently with the exception of 2448 in which the Draganov team voluntarily withdrew to aid another team.
