Description:
Alleged by its creators to be one of the fastest pod racers ever built, the Twin Block is certainly swift. Continuing the FG tradition of non-cable linked engines, the Twin Block sports two powerful turbines. However, as with the previous editions, the Twin Block is even more dangerous than a typical pod racer, which is saying something. The direct attachment of the engines to the chassis along with the closed cockpit means that in the event of a crash the pilot's death is almost guaranteed.
In order to try and prevent certain death, a deflector shield has been installed, though even it would still be useless in a crash. The craft also contains a light laser cannon mounted underneath the cockpit, which can be retracted into a hidden compartment.
