- Advanced Stealth System: The Specter Light Stealth Transport has a stealth system that, when engaged, lowers the ship's ambient energy emissions to near zero levels. This causes the ship's sensor echo to appear much smaller, like that of a small asteroid or piece of space debris.
- Communication Jammers: The Specter has a powerful transmitter assembly that can broadcast a jamming signal for approximately 50,000 kilometers in each direction. This signal interrupts most basic communications tech in this area.
- Adaptive Camouflage: The hull plating has been coated with pigment changing micro-projectors, which allows the crew to change the ship's color scheme to match their surroundings. For example, when flying in open space, the hull can be turned jet black with specs of white to simulate a normal space backdrop. If flying over or through a jungle, the hull could be turned green and brown to better blend in with the trees and native vegetation. This is not a true cloaking device and does not actually make the ship invisible, it just makes the ship more difficult to detect visually.
- Maintenance Heavy: The Specter class light stealth transport utilizes advanced state-of-the-art stealth technology. As such, it requires a high level of maintenance to work optimally. If maintenance is neglected, then the ship's various systems can quickly begin to malfunction to the point of being inoperable.
- Inefficient Fuel Economy: Because of the power requirements needed for the Specters advanced stealth systems, the ship consumes fuel at nearly twice the rate of other ships of similar size. This makes operating it for long periods of time expensive and difficult.
- Jury-Rigged Power System: In order to allow for the after-market modifications performed by Lazrus Taine, the Vendetta's power distribution system has been modified to operate beyond the normal factory determined safe limits. This has lead to several shorts, causing sudden loss of crucial systems and a number of near reactor overloads, which if not diverted in time could cause an explosion that would surely destroy the ship.
The Vendetta is a OSA-06 Specter Light Stealth Transport that was purchased and then extensively modified by Lazrus Taine. It maintains the high rate of speed and maneuverability as well as advanced stealth systems which limit its sensor echos, adaptive camouflage hull plating which make it difficult to spot visually and powerful communication jammers to confuse and otherwise limit the enemy's ability to coordinate counterstrikes against or intercepts of the craft, that was indicative of the original craft. In place of the section meant to house troops, Taine installed an armory/workshop, a prison cell and a small infirmary. He also added aftermarket weapons, upgraded the standard shield array and added a chaff launcher to the rear of the craft.
