The Ferret is a space fighting drone which was jointly developed by NS, the Dinos and Starbotians. The
Ferret 101B/Ferret-G is a development of the original
Ferret-E which can operate in atmospheres as well as in space. The air force also operates some of these drones (whose numbers are included here).
From 2115 production switched to the improved
Ferret 101C which can carry a third missile in lieu of the laser gun and has improved vector thrust and electronics. All surviving earlier generation
Ferret 101As have now been upgraded to B standard.
