Overview:
    During the dark ages, well trained pilots were in short supply. Many commands found it was
    easier to give these rookies “simple” machines that didn’t require much skill to
    operate. After all, quantity is a quality all its own.
    The original Cygnus of Clan design drew attention from commands with such needs. It was
    deemed to expensive and heavy to serve the roll, but inspired some techs to design a new
    “low tech” variant.
