			Vangaard Gyre e3-A

	Heady with the success of the Pathfinder, Vangaard Industries
let its engineers go wild with their designs.  One of the most noted
results is the Vangaard Gyre e3-A Scoutship.  This model is considered
rare since it only reached a limited production of 500,000, due to
bankrupcy.  After Vangaard went bankrupt from lawsuits (because of the
Pathfinder's shielding problem), overspending, and mismanagement, most
designs were sold to a then young KDY.  These plans  have never seen
the light of day.  It is also rumored that some of the newer craft KDY
is building for the Empire have incorporated some of the radical
designs from Vangaard. 

	As designed, the mission profile of the Gyre is the
exploration of systems with heavy concentrations of asteroids.  This
specific function is typical of the designs of the period. (Credits
ran free then, and it is said that many designs were "spice
enhanced.")  The result is a very maneuverable ship designed for
"light" scouting duty -- data collection only.
