JK-259 Jackknife

4 Medium T-47 Lasers
8 Scrambler Missiles
Triark Sensor Suite
12 Maneuvering thrusters

The JK-259 Jackknife is a one-man defensive fighter, designed to escort larger ships through open space. It’s super-dense armored hull will deflect almost any figher-based weapon, and it’s 12 maneuvering thrusters give it a high degree of agility.

In battle, the Jackknife uses our proprietary Triark sensor technology to fly with it’s armor closed. The electromagnetic and thermal sensor data is fed directly into the pilot’s visor, projecting enemy ship detail as a real-time, moving, heads-up display.

Our engineers have been able to decrease the Jackknife’s opening and weapon start up sequence to only one second, giving the pilot almost instant access to his offensive weapons. If a threat arises, the Jackknife can snap shut in under a second, protecting the pilot inside. Missile lock can be obtained in the closed armor position, but safteys will prevent premature launch. Regular maintenance is highly recommended.

While on guard, the Jackknife can magnetize its’ hull, allowing it to attach itself to the ship it is defending to save fuel. Because of size constraints and its’ heavy mass, fuel is limited to about one hour’s worth. Heavy maneuvering can decrease this to only one half-hour. The Jackknife should be refueled after every battle.

The Jackknife can be outfitted to be a ramming tug for offensive or industrial purposes.

The Jackknife has a one year/two hundred thousand mile limited warranty, and comes with everything seen here. Order now and recieve a free instructional video.

Thank you for your interest in Triark Industries. Purchase orders can be made through our website.



This is my first space ship. I built it mainly because of the space-themed TEXLUG meeting in October, but I’ve had the idea for this ship for a while. Inspiration comes from a pair of switch-blade pocket pliers that I have, I’d post a picture but honestly I have no clue where my pliers have walked off to.

Anyway, PLMKWYT! Though since this IS my first spaceship, be gentle, hmm?
