The Constrictor is the only ship allegedly designed by organised crime. It seems that the mysterious Organisation were involved its development. The rumours suggest that the son of a high-ranking member of the fraternity has a hobby of designing ships, and the Organisation decided to get the ship built. The initial reluctance of the Shipyards department of the Vega Line Corporation dissolved after a number of their executives had nasty accidents...
The Constrictor is a nice little ship. Although it is officially a small trader, many people see it more as a medium fighter, due its impressive acceleration and manoeuvrability. There is a fair amount of room for weapons in the ship, still leaving enough space for a small amount of trade. Many Constrictor pilots choose to replace the standard drive with a military drive, and I recommend you listen to their advice.
