- The Vessel of an Acrobat: Much like her previous owner, she's very fast and agile.
- More Dakka!: For a light freighter, she's quite heavily armed.
- Quick On the Draw: By recycling leftover heat, the ship's weaponry can regenerate power faster.
- Have You Any Defense?: In exchange for speed, agility, and heavy armament, she's lacking in the defense department. Once the shields are gone, you better get the hell out of there fast.
- Overheating: The recycling of heat in the weapons systems means there is greater risk of overheating.
- You Came in That Thing?: She's not exactly easy on the eyes, mostly because of the eccentricity of her design.
"Corrax stared in bewilderment at the sight before him. A ship designed by children. As a prank. On drugs. A literal pirate ship, spec'ed from plans out of the pre-space faring days of a thousand ancient civilizations." -Corrax Talrus, "The Harlock"
The Harlock is a strange animal. While it is classified as a freighter on account of its size and abundant cargo hold, the design is more typical of a corvette. Resembling a cross between an old-fashioned galleon and a miniature battleship, the eccentric freighter is blatantly, shamelessly pirate-themed. The captain's quarters at the back, which look like they came from a sea ship rather than a starship, and the presence of some quaint decorations along the sides associated with ancient piracy - a skull and crossbones - create an effect which is childish rather than intimidating, like an overgrown little boy's idea of what constitutes a badass ride. Most people find it hideous.
Much of the weirder elements appear to have been added later, though it passed through several reluctant hands before Alyosha won it while gambling on Bespin. He hired a pilot, Theo Vathek, to operate the vessel.
With the death of Alyosha, ownership passed to Theo, who opted to stick around with Alyosha's odd bunch of friends, among them Laertia Io. With Laertia having gone on to create her own House, Theo is now considered a member of the House Io family. He and the Harlock have found work as part of House Io's ever-expanding fleet.
