The [[StarCitizen:Drake Interplanetary|Drake]] AS-1 '''Cutlass Black''' (also: '''DCB1''') is a low-cost, easy-to-maintain solution for local in-system militia units. The larger-than-average cargo hold, Radar intercept officer (RIO) back-seat and dedicated tractor mount are, the company literature insists, for facilitating search and rescue operations.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=pledge/ships/drake-cutlass/Cutlass-Black|text=Cutlass Black - Ship page}}</ref> The Cutlass Black [[StarCitizen:Drake Interplanetary#Pirate Scandal|is very popular among pirates]].

==Features==
{{List item
|Cargo
|The Cutlass Black has the capability of carrying up to 46 SCUs of cargo within its hold, as well as 46,000K μSCU of internal stowage. Thanks to its rear ramp, the ship can carry ground vehicles like the [[StarCitizen:ROC]] or even Drake's very own [[StarCitizen:Mule]] or [[StarCitizen:Dragonfly]].
}}
{{List item
|Crew Area
|Despite Drake's reputation of providing only the essentials, the Cutlass still has a spacious crew area which includes a pair of beds, a small kitchenette, two 1500k µSCU storage lockers, and four fully functional gun racks.
}}
{{List item
|Easy Access
|Apart from its rear ramp, the ship also has a pair of large side doors, ideal for when you need to EVA to recover cargo, salvaging, or for rescue operations.
}}
{{List item|Tractor Beam
|To assist in recovery-type missions, the ship has a conveniently placed hard-point at the rear which holds a size 1 tractor beam.
}}
{{List item
|Weapons
|Being in the depths of space can leave you vulnerable to attacks from other ships. With four pilot-controlled size 3 gun hard-points, a manned turret which can hold a pair of size 3 guns, and racks that can hold eight size 3 and eight size 2 missiles, Drake Interplanetary has you covered.

==Trivia==
*The ship is named after a Cutlass, a short, curved saber type sword that was historically employed by sailors aboard warships from the 17th century until the early 20th century. The Cutlass was ideal in situations involving close-quarters combat, including boarding actions, engagements in the rigging, or confrontations below decks. Additionally, one of the notable benefits of the cutlass was its ease of use, necessitating less training compared to the mastery required for a rapier or small sword.<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cutlass</ref>
