Rabbit Light Cruiser

Another modified Blackbird design, like the Phoenix, the Rabbit is the GSF's minelayer. Rabbit was actually a joke name that stuck after the designers couldn't come up with anything better. Rabbits lay special Turd-mines (also a joke name that unfortunately stuck) that are designed to look like asteroid debris. Turd-mines can be made invisibile to conventional radar/sensor scans (though the Rabbit has a specialized method of keeping track of Turds). When a Turd comes into contact with a non-Turd, it releases an exorbitant amount of energy from its Luminaire power core, shorting out shields and doing a goodly amount of hull damage. One Turd is usually not enough to take down your average sized capital ship, but with shorted out shields and a nice-sized hull bruise, it may make the crew think twice about advancing further into mined space.
