The Ellyohippus was an Invader-class JumpShip,[1] modified to feature a Lithium-Fusion Battery. Notably, it apparently retained at least two of the design's original three docking hardpoints despite the modification.
In 3057, the Ellyohippus was used by the Draconis Combine to run the Clan Smoke Jaguar blockade of the Wolcott system, by jumping to a pirate jump point and quickly jumping back out by means of the LF battery system, without deploying its jump sail. When the Black Thorns' DropShip Bristol was brought to Wolcott by the Ellyohippus in this fashion, two other DropShips were bound for the pre-arranted pirate jump point.[2] This strongly implies they were both supposed to be moved out on the Ellyohippus and thereby that the Ellyohippus featured at least two functional hardpoints. However, it is theoretically also possible that there was a second unmentioned JumpShip operating alongside the Ellyohippus.
