What CIG says RSI Ship Matrix
flight-ready Starter / Pathfinder Exploration Small
Designed for hard-working folks of all stripes, the Cutter packs 4 SCU of cargo room and plenty of wallop into a rough and tumble, compact frame. It’s a ship that truly embodies the spirit of Drake: that no matter who you are or what you do, you can reach the stars.
