1 week ago It would be useful to quote the text you are referring to, rather than making everyone who wants to understand this issue go find it for themselves, which may involve considerable guesswork if they are not already familiar with it.
Perhaps ironically, the conversation about the Peregrine was actually added in the same PR as the conversation about the Merganser (though I don't know what the interval for writing the two was) both of which came after the Penguin.

Is there an existing issue for this?
Describe the bug
It seems obvious that these ships were added to the game well after the Peregrine, and the conversation accompanying its introduction wasn't updated accordingly.
Why? Because after all that time Taely spends waxing poetic about how the Merganser (and the Penguin, if you chose that path) are "alive", she goes on to give the whole spiel yet again while introducing the Peregrine.
A similar whole paragraph is spent talking about the gaslining attribute, when you can only reach this point after you've landed on a gas giant at least a few times.
Steps to Reproduce
Read the Puffin, Penguin, Merganser and Peregrine intro conversations.
Expected Behavior
All 4 conversations should make sense semantically as per their chronology, with a branched path for Penguin (already done for the Merganser intro).
Puffin is the first gasliner. Penguin is the first 'truly alive' ship and a prototype. Merganser is also the first 'truly alive' ship (check their shipyard descriptions!) and not a prototype. (Strange that a prototype and its final iteration are both infinitely available for purchase.)
So, the only thing left to talk about regarding the Peregrine is that it's a cloaking-capable medium warship.
