Origin 125a , my go-to high-speed shuttle for BIS.

The Origin 325a was my second ship back in 2942. So, when Origin released the 100i series, I scoffed. I didn’t see the point. If you wanted a cheap ship, get an Aurora. If you wanted a better Starter Ship, get a 325a. Who needs this thing? Then I had the opportunity to take it for a test drive. I walked out onto the pad and saw it sitting there. It was love at first sight.

Of course, when you open the door, the interior of the 125a is sleek… but drab. The bed is a bit too minimalistic and there’s not much else to the cabin. But otherwise, I can’t think of too many downsides to the 125a.

The 125a has become my go-to high-speed shuttle. There are other, faster ships, but it’s hard to beat the 125a for it’s combined size, speed, interior cargo space, and overall capabilities. It is a joy to fly.

Smooth lines. A beautifully low profile. It’s not heavily armed, though what it does have is a pair of S3s. It’s fast and nimble with space for a couple of SCU of cargo in the cabin. And it’s small enough to be called up from any Platinum Bay pad and if you’re flying into hostile territory, you can park behind just about any rock near your target.
