The Vell-os Dart is a Vell-os ship in Escape Velocity Nova.
"When a Vell-os has completed his or her basic training in the psi arts, one of the first things they attempt to construct is the delicate Dart. Like all Vell-os 'ships', she is actually a pure psychic barrier that protects the Vell-os pilot within. It is perfectly formed for hyperspace travel (nearly matching the beautiful Wraith), and will remain intact as long as enough of the mental energy of the Vell-os remains." ― Dart description
"The Vell-os who created this stunning machine smiles gently as he shows you how he can create such things. He closes his eyes for a moment, and a small cylinder field blinks into existence around him. "Truly," he says, "it's not that hard." You find yourself shaking your head at the abilities of these people." ― Hiring a Dart
Gameplay Analysis[]
"One of the best fighters in the game, you would be well-advised to never pick a fight with a Dart. Speed is perhaps the best aspect of this ship, combined with it's much higher than average shields and a powerful (for a fighter) Flower of Spring. Javelins "carry" 3 on board." ― EVula Survival Guide
Using their "Create Dart" psi ability, Vell-os ranked T2 or above can conjure up to three darts and control them independently of his "own" vessel, whatever that may be.
This vessel is one of the fastest in the game, second only to the Nil'kimas Manta. Coupled with the arsenal of psychic abilities a Vell-os has, this ship is one of the most dangerous fighters out there, able to combat most things smaller than a capital ship.
Like all Vell-os ships, Darts are inertialess.
