Overview[edit]

Introduced at the same time as the Arrow, the Starburst is another racer which is almost too fast for its own good.

Background[edit]

Physical Characteristics[edit]

The Starburst uses the Discoverer model.

Combat[edit]

The Starburst has no weapons therefore has no combat capability. While it is impossible to obtain in vanilla TC, it would have considerable usefulness as a scouting ship.

Equipment[edit]

Availability[edit]

You can get one as a reward for the plot Shady Business.

Suggested Roles[edit]

The Starburst is best applied to fast-mapping, asteroid scanning and scouting roles.
