DESCRIPTION​

This pod was created by Starchaser Enterprises in response to the upcoming Pod Racing season, and more specifically Harvest Day Pod Race. The vessel was created from duraplast and starship parts, to echo the focus of the company. As a result of the focus, the Starchaser Enterprise pod has a light shield to protect the pod, and the engines are repurposed and rebuilt using starship components. Adding in a few extra systems, including modifying a repulsor engine air intake to boost the speed as the engines keep running and moving.

Finally, a modified SLAM system was created to allow for a temporary boost of speed. It has a limited amount of charges and used too often will cause issues for the whole system. The Pod is designed as a prototype at first, and the Harvest Day will be the first time it is launched.

[member="Coren Starchaser"], this is conceptually solid and as a design is easily passable.

Manufacturer: Starchaser Enterprises

Starchaser Enterprises should probably have "vehicles" as an operation to make more than one of these craft though. I think we have two options to move forward:

1) Add "vehicles" to Starchaser Enterprise's operations
2) Make the production "Unique"
