• No Quarter — Ion weaponry and precision fire disable prey without destroying valuable cargo.
• Boarding Beast — Reinforced docking collars and breaching points make taking ships quick and decisive.
• Hidden Hold — Concealed compartments throughout the ship keep contraband, credits, and unwanted passengers out of sight.
• Slip the Noose — Built to survive impossible escapes, with redundant systems and enough speed to leave heavier warships chasing ghosts.

WEAKNESSES

• Fuel Hungry — Powerful engines and upgraded systems consume fuel at an alarming rate, forcing frequent stops or careful planning.
• High Profile — Its silhouette and reputation make it difficult to disappear for long. Authorities know exactly what they're looking for.
• Maintenance Queen — Decades of modifications mean something is always in need of repair. The crew keeps it flying through experience and ingenuity.
• Limited Hangar — No room for a full fighter complement, leaving the ship vulnerable to coordinated starfighter attacks.
• Built for the Prize — Optimized for raiding freighters and light escorts. Against dedicated capital ships, the smartest move is to run rather than stand and fight.

DESCRIPTION
No one knows who first laid the keel or what purpose she was originally built to serve. By the time Kael Werda claimed her, she had passed through countless hands. Her hull bore the scars of forgotten wars, failed owners, and a lifetime spent outrunning things larger than herself.

She did not become a pirate ship overnight. Every modification was made with purpose. Layers of armor reinforced an already rugged frame. Engines were rebuilt for sudden bursts of speed. Sensor suites were expanded to spot prey long before they could return the favor, while sophisticated countermeasures made pursuit frustrating and often futile. Hidden compartments disappeared into the hull, and her weapons were tuned to disable rather than destroy, because a captured ship is worth far more than drifting wreckage.

Time has left its mark across every meter of the hull. Paint has faded beneath layers of repairs. Scorch marks surround replacement plating, and welded seams trace the outline of battles long since forgotten. Nothing aboard is pristine, yet nothing has been neglected. Every scar remains because replacing it would serve no purpose. They are reminders that the ship survived.

She was never built to stand in a battle line trading fire with larger warships. She hunts alone, relying on patience, deception, and precision rather than overwhelming force. She appears where she is least expected, strikes with ruthless efficiency, and disappears before anyone can organize a proper response.

To most captains, she is little more than a ghost on the edge of a sensor screen. By the time her silhouette comes into view, the hunt has already begun.
