The Poco is a basic starfighter used by the DDF. Spensa's first ship was a Poco.

These are the ships recreated holographically in the Flight School's flight simulators.[1] Spensa states that "they looked like glorified pencils with wings", but "they were still starships."[1]

Pocos do not have a self-destruct function.[1] Other features include gravitational capacitors (GravCaps) and an acclivity ring.[1] It is equipped with Destructors, IMPs, Light-lances, shields, and a A-19 booster.[2] [1]

It is stated to be a "Basic but fast" model.[3] The maximum speed for a Poco is Mag-10. [4]

Notes

M-Bot is armed with everything a Poco has, but with better GravCaps. His max speed is also Mag-20.

In space M-Bot's max speed is Mag-55.
