Models
Series Variants
Reliant Kore
The MISC Reliant Kore is the base model of the Reliant series and is a mini hauler with additional speed and dogfighting capabilities not found in a dedicated freighter ship. It is specifically designed as a multi-purpose ship and has a larger carrying capacity than many ships in its class.[1] |

Reliant Mako
The MISC Reliant Mako is a news van variant of the Reliant. It combines the flexibility of the Reliant frame with a state-of-the-art image Enhancement suite and turret-mounted optics.[2] The need for the reporting variant was identified after a review of spectrum broadcasts that revealed the low-quality video of combat incidents, as well as an increase of such incidents.[3] |

Reliant Sen
The MISC Reliant Sen is a versatile single-ship explorer and science platform, intended to be outfitted with long range capabilities and an advanced sensor suite. It is intended to function both alone, or as part of the fleet of a MISC Endeavor. Despite the intent of the ship's design, the current in-game fuel tanks and sensor array are both typical for ships of the Sen's size class.[4] |

The MISC Reliant Tana is a versatile fighter. Easy to maintain with a rugged construction, the Reliant Tana makes for an ideal choice for frontier and outpost defense thanks to its custom high-yield power plant, stronger shields and additional weapon mounts.[5] |

History
In 2946, following on the success of the Freelancer “Built for Life” campaign, MISC has begun development of a smaller, introductory-class spacecraft that can be operated by a single pilot. The "Boomerang" project, later known as the Reliant, was developed in both the main MISC plant located in Saisei and the Xi’an MISC plant located in Shorvu by lead designer Edward Alburn and lead engineer Monica Feyez.[6] The ship series is designed to compete with the RSI Aurora and the Consolidated Outland Mustang.[7]
Features
The MISC Reliant makes copious use of Xi’An technology, the most ever applied to a human ship design. From a moving cockpit that slots into place depending on the flight mode to omni-directional thrusters licensed under the trade agreement with AopoA. Advanced Xi’An metal composites make up the armored wingspan, and every control surface has been meticulously updated from those developed for the Freelancer by MISC’s internal xenotech team.[7]
Development
MISC’s design won a backer poll asking which ship CIG should build as the next starter. The finished product ended up being a fair amount more capable than a standard Aurora or Mustang, and so we have dubbed it a ‘Tier II’ starter. The ship concept is designed by David Hobbins (freelance conept artist).[7]
