These are before and after pictures of an FCH-100 general transport that was 
modified by Bo Backwood and his friend, Reginald Huntington Harcourt Duckworth, IV
(though most folk just call him Jesse).

As you can see, when Bo got a hold of it, it wasn't exactly 'spaceworthy.'  With a 
bit of effort, and a lot of dough that Bo won in the Mega-Zillions Lotto, the ship 
was ready for its maiden voyage.

Christened the 'Blue-Eyed Cougar,' after Bo's favorite huntin' dawg, the ship 
carried the two buddies out into the Void for some wild adventurin', and maybe a
little money-makin' on the side.

Modifications include:

-Bored and Stroked Halldeck and Rogers RPEC-1100g radial plasma thrusters with
conical thrust vectoring gives hella power and one swift kick in the pants.

-larger Redd Turbine Development plasma injectors with Mandelbrot extrude-honed 
manifold and 5-angle valve job ensure sustained power when the throttle is set 
to 11.

-twin Zephyr Technologies ZRT-FHS220h heavy-duty shield generators tweaked by Bo's 
old special forces friend.

-twin turret-mounted General Aeronautics PC-12TR heavy plasma cannons (side-
mounted) for keepin' those pesky pirates at bay.

-two turret-mounted Renaissance Aerospace ZL-500 medium photon rifles, should
things get even more unruly.

-heavy duty "Spinecrusher" suspension helps protect landing gear on planets where 
GPS data is less than reliable.

-Reynard Auxillary Power Unit helps keep the cold ones cold, and can also juice 
up shields, weapons, or engines, if needed.

-triple KC High-Intensity Discharge lamps for lighting up creepy asteroid caves.

-Custom military-grade ECM system for bustin' the fuzz.

-High gain CB Antenna, because sometimes the aethernet connection gets lost...
