Half a Lunark

Lunarks have the ability to split into two separate ships, either in an emergency or simply for the fun of it.

The front section has a special compartment in the undercarriage which contains a creature that resembles a giant slug. This is particularly useful if the Lunark is about to crash into a mountain for example. The 'slug' then acts as a cushion enabling the Lunark to stick to the mountain then crawl to safety.
