It only took Uncle Lu ten days to have a working prototype of the miniaturized Crystal based warp generation engine ready for testing. The hull to be used was a former Kepler Cutter, heavily damaged during the battle but patched back up to basic functionality by the crews of the Terminus Trading Company.
The technicians saw a great opportunity in this phase of the designs. They were making huge repair facilities for visitors and Reavers, but they could repurpose some for full construction since they had the materials. If they could come up with an entirely new design of Cutter, they could make a killing selling them to mercenaries and others who were always short on vessels.
