- It is a military ship and a Destroyer.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
This sleek design in black and gold livery, came as a complete surprise to the harried picket boat crews who first encountered it. The massive power signature of the over-sized reactor was an unwelcome herald of this fast and agile craft. Sacrificing everything for maneuverability it lacked defenses, jump range and fuel tankage. Having to forage for hydrogen to ensure its ability to return home tended to make encounters desperate struggles for survival without mercy.
