Description

"The Reen-Oh Crapshoot, voted Ugliest Starship Design on both Sides of the conflict for 16 years running, the Reen-Oh Crapshoot was a single seat fighter introduced in the 68th year of the war. Although fast and maneuverable, The Crapshoot lacked any reasonable sort of firepower. to compensate for this, the designers crafted a fake exterior texturing which resembled the :dealers" which cover the larger Reen-Oh Starships. At first, the subtrefuge worked, leading many Vay-Gas pilots to believe that they were facing a well-armed and formidable opponent. After the truth came out and was discovered that the Crapshoot was a bluff, they were routinely shot out of the sky in a maneuver called the "Cheney". Although ugly and a sham, they changed missions from being a fighter to being a fast courier ship, where they were voted Ugliest Courier Ship for the next 47 years running until the introduction of the Vay-Gas "Groupie" Courier Ship.

Of course its "Corn Cob up the Ass" exterior would cause any opposing captain to contemplate its purpose.... However during the Palm Springs Wars, this ship is still considered to be a loaded weapon...

As Rblue & RubyT suggest, this speedy craft sure looks like a corn cob ! I wonder if it uses the latest "pop-corn" light drive ? or the more traditional "Steam Drive" ? Again your vivid imagination and humour shows no mercy, gwad (Dick C.) help us all ! Good one Collin & ~Cheers~

Agree with above three, looks like a porn-corn cob. The narrative continues in high fashion... +5

This reminds me a bit of that small snake with colored bands similar to a deadly coral snake. Gotta admit that's a uniquely designed ship. Cool story.
