The Tender Rescue Assault Craft (TRAC), more commonly referred to as the Selenop or informally as the "flying spider", was a vessel used to rescue International Fleet marines.[1]
Design and Function[]
The selenop was a small vessel used to rush into a battle to extract marines in need of a quick rescue. It used six anchor arms to attach to a landing surface, which resembled a spider and earned it the nickname "flying spider".[1]
History[]
During the Second Formic War, the Kandahar, an International Fleet warship, was attacked in the outer rim of the Belt after releasing a recon drone. Two months later, the drone returned to the ship, and Mazer Rackham, Bingwen, and Nak were sent to the Kandahar via selenop to recover the drone and its intel. The selenop was modified for the long-distance flight.[1]
