The Firefly Series 3 was produced in multiple versions. The standard version was the 03-K64-Firefly produced for the civilian market. A Military Version—with multiple gun emplacements and wing mounted missiles—was approved for production in August 2463.
The Series 3 featured a number of improvements over the earlier models, notably the extenders below the wings of the ship to stabilize the rotating VTOL engines, and hold them further from the main body of the craft (which keeps the ship from shaking as much as previous series, and allowed for shuttle bays to be built into the sides of design above the wings). Also, the Series 3 is longer, with an extended 'neck', and generally roomier interior. It again uses the more reliable Trace Compression Block engine, rather than the Gurtsler engine used in some other designs.
No longer in production, 28,000 Series 3 boats were sold over the designs production lifetime.
