Lore
The Manifest Destiny is the Outer Rim's dedicated deep-space exploration platform, designed for pilots who believe the galactic edge is where interesting things start, not where they end. Speed 3 and fuel-efficient engines give it the range to reach regions that exist only as blank spots on other empires' charts. Anomaly detection and survey instruments come standard — the Rim builds exploration ships to find things, not just fly past them. Two scrapguns handle whatever was already living in the blank spot. Every Manifest Destiny that returns brings stories. Not all of them return.
