The Mantis is an interdiction spacecraft manufactured by Roberts Space Industries (RSI). Designed around the ability to mount a specialized quantum enforcement device, the Mantis is flown by police forces and security concerns to interdict other ships while they are in quantum flight. The system includes a quantum snare capable of pulling targeted ships out of flight and a dampener that prevents nearby spacecraft from re-entering quantum flight. The Mantis often works alongside heavy fighters and other military assets in order to most effectively intercept pirates and black market transports.
