Single-stage interstellar vehicle (ISV) capable of 99.9999999% of c top speed.
This is a c-limited ISV, you can not exceed the speed of light!
It is a replica of the Project Valkyrie ISV designed by Charles Pellegrino and Jim Powell. The vehicle would be a tractor configuration and use a tensile tether for the structure. It would theoretically be capable of speeds up to 0.92c, with fuel to decelerate. This replica is not to scale.
Comes unloaded but with auxiliary fuel tanks for fuel storage and 400% docking ports.

Ah, yes, the anti-matter drive.
Good.
