Trivia

The unexpected but worthy winner in 2951, on display at the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo

Originally, the 2951 contest entry for the ARGO MPUV-1C was made more in jest than with any serious intention of it winning the showdown. However, an overwhelming fanbase as well as a rising Empire-wide appreciation for the MPUV's utility[5] quickly saw it rising through the rounds and beating the MISC Freelancer, Anvil Carrack, and then the C2 Hercules in the semi-finals before triumphing over the Star Runner in the finals.
