Description
Named for the famous editor of the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy, the "Prefect" was my first exploration ship, and was a participant in Distant Worlds 2. The outfitting contains a low power, booster-reinforced prismatic shield that has protected from otherwise deadly mishaps. Its mission is to visit every extreme point of the galaxy. So far, it has succeeded in reaching the farthest systems from Sol, and from Colonia as well as (what was at the time) the highest G landable planet known in the galaxy. A new record high G has be found in the Kyloalks sector north of Colonia, so that has been added the mission agenda.
