The three person Patrol Cutter is the workhorse vessel of the Cosmic Patrol. The Patrol Cutter is a versatile design that can be used for exploration and reconnaissance, anti-piracy operations, and stealth missions. The most common rocketship used by the Cosmic Patrol, Patrol Cutters are are classified as a tramp vessel design: unlike the larger purpose-built vessels used by the Patrol, the Patrol Cutters have a very simple and readily customizable design. So you will see many variants out there, including FTL variants equipped with fractum drives.
