First produced as the ""Pegasus""-class but due to a trademark claim was reverted to its model code in official documentation. Operators quickly anointed the MGA-220 model with the name ""Mudskipper"" and the name. This tough little ship has been a mainstay in backwater civilian transport for centuries, and although not pretty, the rugged construction simplifies maintenance and generous bay doors allow for great versatility. To this point, the Mudskipper's image in the public mind was cemented by a somewhat unlikely holovid sequence featuring a Mudskipper transporting a herd of bovids to a picturesque arid-terraform.

Most commonly used as interplanetary ferry, the Mudskipper is indeed interstellar-capable. The ship has no built-in shield generator so must rely on its durable - for a civilian craft - armor to protect passengers and cargo. There is little hope for the Mudskipper in combat, but it is generally equipped with a rear-facing turret to foil attacks by the ever-popular Salamander missile.

Notes[]

Quite a useful early logistics pickup for small fleets, particularly those that are mostly not traveling through hyperspace due to its minimal purchase & maintenance costs for its cargo space, although fuel efficiency is a little low. Not to be confused with its significantly different, retrofitted cousin Mudskipper Mk.II.
