Ape-X used to serve as public transport ships on Safa’ary, at a time when the luxurious planet was thriving, long before its people were eventually forced to exile. Already fast and reliable at the core, it was without counting on the ingenuity of a certain master craftsman called B-Neiluj who later added a graphene coating to the high-throughput ion thrusters for maximum asteroid mining performance. They now operate as a decentralised faction called The Barrel Squadron and can mine quicker than any of their class.
