Notes
- The design of the Vespid is a direct nod to the A-B Raider from Galactica 1980.
- In Deadlock's v1.5.112, the ship's hit points were increased from 32 to 36; ship size decreased from -2 to -3; and velocity increased from 3.0 to 3.4.[2]
- The craft's name is from the scientific family name Vespidae, of which wasps and hornets are a part.
