The Ge-D1-1a Specter-Class Patrol Craft is Geshrinari Shipyards latest civil patrol craft. It became available in YE 39.
The Geshrinari Shipyards began work on this design started back in YE 36, but the project was put on hold. In YE 39 the corporation renewed the efforts and the design went into production.
The Ge-D1-1a is the replacement for the discontinued Ghoul Patrol Craft.
It is a small ship designed to combat privateers and pirates.
The Specter has the appearance of a hexagonal body when viewed from above. The view ports for the upper deck are visible in the forward section. The cover for the escape pod is visible on the top of the ship. The ship's airlock is visible on the port side of the ship.
The engine nacelle houses the Continuum Distorion Drive and the Aether plasma drives.

The Ge-D1-W3300 is a next generation of the positron cannon from the Ge-L3-1A - Vampire-Class Patrol Craft. The weapon is tied to the CDD of the Specter. If the CDD is non-operational, then the weapon system is disabled.
The cannon takes the peristaltic waves generated by the CDD and channels them into the main chamber. The chamber is flooded with antimatter, the peristaltic waves excite the antimatter within the containment field to a high energy plasma state. Then output of the distortion field is channeled into the barrel of the cannon and project the plasma at high velocity. The plasma stays coherent for two seconds if the bolt has not struck an object it detonates with the interstellar matter.

The Specter has eight hard points that weapons can be mounted onto. The systems listed below are the standard, but the owner can change them. However, the hard points are intended for retractable weapons. Weapons on the bottom must retract because of the limited ground clearance.
