The Spark was designed around the time that the first Spires were formed, primarily as a scoutship to assess the strengths of the other Spires. It quickly replaced the older ships as the standard jack-of-all trades for the Children.
Since then, it has been upgraded repeatedly, turning into a light gunship favoured by younger warriors that is almost as capable as an Ember in a fight. It is somewhat larger than most comparable interceptors, being a two-man ship, but it is well shielded and powerful.
As the Imperium expanded beyond Deathspire and became the most powerful force in the Western Rim, it was concluded that far more strike craft were needed than there were available pilots. Through work with the Remnant as part of the mass upgrade of weaponry, many Sparks were converted into unmanned drones. Although not quite as cunning as real Children pilots, the greater reactor space allowed for an increases in firepower and shielding. 3 Sparks to a squadron. 35m long.
