The '''Mantis''' is a single-seat [[StarCitizen::Category:Interdictors|interdiction vessel]] developed by [[StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries]]. It possesses the ability to extract targets from [[StarCitizen:Quantum drive|quantum travel]] through a mechanism known as "Quantum Enforcement." With minimal armament and armor, the Mantis is intended to operate alongside more heavily armed law enforcement agencies or pirates to engage with the apprehended vessels.

Trivia

  • The Mantis derives its name from a group of large, typically green insects that are closely related to grasshoppers and cockroaches. These insects are known for their predatory behavior, capturing other insects using their robust, spiny front legs.<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mantis</ref>
