The Wyvern Space Capsule was originally made by Astro-Dynamics, inc. and was important to the early exploration and settling of the Solar System. Production of an upgraded version continued even after Astro-Dynamics was bought by Ares Systems, mid-way through Era-1. Although it was designed only to make short journeys, and could not take off on its own after landing, it saw wide use as a single-use landing craft, and as an escape pod.
The Wyvern could seat five, and carried enough provisions for five days at full capacity. It's construction was as light as was practical, and therefore the Wyvern was virtually defenseless. Its sole role was to move people through space.
When humankind first seriously undertook the colonization of space, the Wyvern was the vehicle of choice. Many early settlers landed on the Moon, and Mars in Wyverns, and their supplies were often delivered in Sorcerer Pods.
Variants
The Sorcerer Cargo and Logistics Pod was the most common variant on the Wyvern, relying solely on autopilot, and trading in all seating and life-support for cargo space.
