Cutlass Black

The Cutlass Black is a space superiority fighter manufactured by [Drake Interplanetary](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RLMm9KeZed-drake-interplanetary). It was initially developed in the mid-29th century SEY as a bid for a military contract with the [United Empire of Earth](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth) (UEE) [Navy](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RPDvKOpdP4-uee-navy). When the bid failed, Drake opted to market the Cutlass Black as a low-cost, easy-to-repair spacecraft to civilians. Other Cutlass variants include the [Cutlass Blue](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RxNxZ9aZoz-cutlass-blue) for law enforcement and bounty hunters and the [Cutlass Red](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0QxYEyzo99-cutlass-red) medical transport.
