Equipped with probably the smallest non-military warp generator available, the Sprite was launched with a blaze of publicity and immediately the next two years production runs were sold out immediately. A whole industry of third-party suppliers have sprung up to produce add-on's and extra capabilities for the Sprite, everything from colour schemes through to sensor packs for mining exploration teams. The Sprite has also been adopted as a private shuttle for small companies providing a charter service in between worlds. Some Sprites have had their warp engines removed to make space for extra fuel tanks and hence are only used to serve routes inside a solar system.

No longer a preserve of the rich and wealthy, the Sprite has helped spaceflight become more accessable to the masses and should continue to do so for many more years to come. The scene above depicts a flight of Sprites leaving a ore processing facility, one of many in the Menkalinan system carrying miners on well-deserved leave.
