== Description ==
The Merganser is the first production ship the Remnant deem to be truly alive, and are considered to be equivalent to dolphins in reasoning tests. These interceptors, deemed for short range operations by Remnant standards, are designed to patrol the upper atmosphere of gas giants and use their decisive speed advantage to conduct hit-and-run attacks on threats in nearby systems.
The cloaking technology and ramscoop are built into the Merganser's hull; they cannot be removed or transferred to another ship.
== Location ==
One Merganser is obtained when the Remnant storyline mission "Remnant: Cognizance 23" is accepted; in addition, after being offered the mission, the Merganser can be purchased at the following ports:
* Aventine, Pantica

== Performance Information ==
Mergansers are fast and are equipped with long range Inhibitor Cannons to buzz enemies. Due to its Anvil-Class engines it also has reverse thrust capabilities, making it extremely agile on top of its high speed. Topping that off is that it has a cloaking device built into the vessel itself, allowing it a great deal of survivability.
While not being particularly useful as a flagship due to being an interceptor, a Merganser performs a support role quite well.
== Notes ==

* Purchasing the Merganser requires a Remnant License.
* The Merganser has a built in cloak.
* The Merganser has built in atmosphere, outfit, and tactical scanning.
* The Merganser can land on gas planets.
