Misc. Equipment: The ship has several hidden compartments used to hide spices and weapons, used for extreme smuggling. The ship also comes in with a console to detect docking codes and use them to dock in restricted areas.
Description:
The ship is by no means a combat vessel, with minimum shields that could survive 1-2 shots of a heavy cannon before breaching the hull. It makes up for this disability with its speed and maneuverability, being able to spin, glide, and speed passed most threats. Given its name due to its unusual dark green emit from its engine, It is infamous through the smuggling community for its insane speed and its ability to "disappear" when danger arrives. Ark found the vessel through a dirty trick he played on a gang as a 22 year old, just becoming a man. He stole their prized ship and sailed off into the galaxy.
Strengths:
awe inspiring speed and handling, escapes from unwanted situations quickly without a scratch. Also quiet and uses different verification codes with each planet it comes in contact with, making itself untraceable, only being distinguished by its look.
Weaknesses:
Fragile, 1-2 shots of a minor cannon could take her down due to the lack of shields (they weigh the ship down). Also dont offer much on the offensive side, carrying only one heavy cannon in a fixed position, used for breaching asteroids or self defense if the threat arrived.
