A Mongoose 2e design. This ship is the Type P 400-Ton Corsair's bigger brother. It can devour 100-ton ships whole and is armed with 2 ion cannon barbettes to render the target helpless, a fusion gun barbette to deal heavy damage to anyone that disputes their right to do so, and three triple laser turrets to fight at range when need be. That said, it uses virtual gunners rather than live ones to give more space for use elsewhere.
The jump drive has the early jump advantage x3 to allow it to jump at 70 diameters if it senses a trap. It is equipped with additional sensor options to scout prey at greater ranges and is fueled and supplied for 14 weeks to allow it to lurk until suitable prey wanders into its sights. It has a crew of 6 and 10 thugs to subdue any resistance on the target.
This is not the ship that any self-respecting merchant crew ever hopes to meet. Imperial investigators have begun to suspect that while this class of ship is built with what seems to be Imperial technology, it is not originating from inside the Imperium. Is a rival polity building ships to destabilize trade inside the Imperium? Suspicions have turned toward the Zhodoni Consulate as this is exactly the kind of ploy they would try, and it is becoming more difficult to dismiss as a conspiracy theory with every new attack.
