This ancient phase prototype rig was never intended for mass production, yet someone managed to extract its reverse-engineered blueprints from the firmware of a Nanoforge. The resulting skeleton of hull is given standard armour cladding, the merest nod of a life-support module, and as many missiles as can be crammed into the remaining voids.
The Gremlin, as it became known, is hated by its crew who suffer not only the dubious honour of a close-in strike role but also the disturbing wash of the prototype phase coil. Substance abuse is ubiquitous. An awful little ship.
This ship has been heavily modified - and poorly mantained- by its pirate crew.

Fanatics of the Luddic Path have made this ship their own, stripping out all unnecessary furnishing and transforming it into a haphazard vehicle of holy war.

Probably the first enemy phase ship a player is likely to encounter, a Gremlin provides an excellent introduction to Phase Cloak mechanics.
Some effort is needed to fit the Gremlin well for player use but it's relatively common availability provides for an early opportunity to add a phase ship to the fleet. Generally considered a sub-par phase ship but any phase ship can still be a significant threat if left unchecked.
