     Usually the fourth small craft assigned to the capital scale
customs craft in Yaeger space, the boarding craft is designed to
carry 10 customs agents and 15 troopers into suspect craft.  The
Makev is capable of docking with just about any other crafts, and
the cutting laser is designed to carve a hole if the opposing craft
proves to be less than amenable to the boarding.  The weapon is
designed to be fired after the magnetic clamps lock the boarding
craft to the surface.  The damaged caused is localized to the hull
region bounded by the Makev's airlock.
     Out of it's usual situation, the Makev can be found in service
as a dropship, or as an infleet shuttle.  Modified Makev's make
appearances as personnel transports or light dropships, or as very
light freighters.  However, when in formation with the usual three
Darts, they can disable and board just about any sub-capital, and
many capital ships, something that is useful both for the customs
service, and for less legitimate operators, including pirates,
bandits and kidnappers, when they can get the Makevs.

     Note:  The cost listed is in a theoretical situation, where
the Yaeger ships are available without restriction.  In most
scenarios, they should not be available at all, or at incredibly
inflated prices.
