      These small capital ships are the backbone of the Yaeger
Fleet. They are capable of performing a number of functions very
well, from cargo runs to atmospheric drops, to troop transport,
and are fairly effective in battle.
     The Cargo bay of the Panther is designed to be converted
into temporary troop quarters.  When it is being used for cargo,
a Panther can hold up to 100 passengers in other locations.  The
cargo bay can also be converted into a fighter bay, but that
requires some modification, and the fighter bay thusly produced
is more than a little cramped.
     The Panther is designed to be used in atmospheric work, and
the repeating blasters are usually not manned during space
combat, but are very effective in clearing a landing area of
enemy craft.  Until more specialized craft, such as the
Quicksilver and Groundbreaker landing craft find wider
acceptance, large scale Yaeger landings always rely on one or two
Panthers and a Doublet Corvette to establish a beach head.
     Despite the fact that the Yaeger nation now fields numerous
specialized craft capable of filling just about all the purposes
the Panther was designed for, it remains an incredibly popular
ship, due to it's versatility in combat, and it's uses out of the
scope of large scale conflicts.  Yaeger Yards is currently
developing a Panther Mark 8, but no details are available.

     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.
