DESCRIPTION
The Dread Pirate Flagship Wandering Maw began its life as a Keldabe Class Battleship in service of the old Mandalorian Empire during its many wars against the Sith and itself. During one of its mission crossing the Hydian Way en route to Wayland the ship was ambushed by a group of Iridium Successor Pirates. These daring pirates were lead by a Feeorin Pirate Captain named Nymjak. With the Keldabe commandeered the ship's crew were either massacred or jettisoned from the ship in escape craft to drift in open space. Nymjak would take the Keldabe and named it Wayland's Bane. Nymjak and his crew would then use the ship in a series of raids across the Hydian Way and Daragon Trail Hyperlanes. They would disguise themeselves as Mandalorians, only to ambush Sith, Republic, and SJO ships. Their reign of terror would become such a threat that the Mandalorians and Sith Empire Navy would launch hunting missions to capture the ship and its crew.
Nearly captured several times, Nymjak fled the Outer Rim, following the Hydian Way then the Corellian Run to Wild Space where he would come into contact with the Pirate's Shadowport of The Starweird Queen. There he would commit his crew and his ship to the Pirate Crime Ring that ruled over the shadowport, the Hydra Pacthold. Over the years, Nymjak would add to the Keldabe. Stripping its facade and augmenting its internal super structure, subjecting it to customization, expansions and renovations. Until finally it was transformed into the dreaded ship - the Wandering Maw. It would engage in a series of raids and pillaging campaigns up through Hutt Space and the Outer Rim that it's name would become synonymous with terror to spacers. This terror would lead to much fame for Nymjak - who now was given the moniker surname "Dread", becoming Nymjak Dread. His rise would continue as later the Hydra Pacthold would crown him Pirate King of the Pacthold and Lord Protector of the Shadowport.
However, his reign would be ended years later when his own crew would assassinate him and steal the ship. The mutineers had decided to rid the Hydra Pacthold of their King and sell his ship to a Sith Lord named
Avernus
who had machinations for the ship. Paid handsomely, the mutineers were contracted to deliver the ship to the Sith's corporation's operations in the CIS. There the ship was remodelled once again and updated with better armament. But, vengeance would be wrought before it was delivered back to the mutineers for a privateering. The adopted daughter of the late Pirate King - Qorzan, would launch a surprise assault. She retook the ship, executed the mutineers, and ravaged the escort ships guiding the ship. Rather than become furious the Sith Lord Avernus found Qorzan's daring raid a fascinating display of her prowess. The two would secretly come to an accord. Avernus would lend the ship to Qorzan and not seek its return in exchange she become a secret privateer operative. Qorzan agreed and entered an agreement with the Sith Lord. From here Qorzan would stamp her own improvements to the ship. She would add the Ship-Impaling-Bayonet to its prow. A devastating weapon that could cleave ship's wide open. Infused with a Ion Defense Grid and Heavy Ion Cannons, Qorzan would develop a horrific tactic to disable shields and impale ships open. She would have probe droids locate a ship in advance and the suddenly hyperpsace jump only a few kilometers from the target ship, delivering maximum surprise. Then move straight into ramming maneuver, before unelashing a salvo of Ion Defense Grid empowered Ion Battery fire blowing precise directed holes in the target ship's shielding. Then the bayonet would do the rest along with boarding harpoons. Qorzan's addition fully honored its named The Wandering Maw, as Qorzan's bayonet tactic quite literally devoured ships.
