Artful Dodger – a nimble modded Series III Firefly that starts with a faster drive core and has more space for crew – is a fifth playable ship for Firefly: The Game, allowing for up to five player games. Unlike the standard Firefly vessels the Artful Dodger gets a "Modified Radion Accelerator Mark II" drive core from the Osiris Supply Deck as its starting drive core. With its faster core and higher crew/lower cargo capacity, captaining the Dodger means working fewer delivery jobs and focusing on riskier, more profitable crime jobs. The Artful Dodger is a promo item which includes the Artful Dodger ship playing piece and matching player mat. It is only obtainable in two ways. Originally it was released as a promo with issue #162 of GMT (Game Trade Magazine), but it is now included as standard in the English First Edition (Larger Box) Version of Firefly: The Game and in the German Deluxe Edition. It was also available to buy for a short period from the Gale Force Nine LLC website (Firefly: The Game's Publisher).
