Strengths:
Heavy Hitter - In combination with its original Missile Variant and the additional weapons, they make this vessel like a flechette shotgun. But like any shotgun, they need to be reloaded, and it is not like an automatic shotgun. This vessel prides itself on the first shot being the initial hit, which could cause extreme disorientation and cloaking them under weapons fire.
Weaknesses:
Low Defense - Heavily modified for 'under the radar' tactics, Power consumption is heavy with the additional weapons and max engine power, not even concerning shields. Uniquely designed for hit and run tactics, or swift area control against preferred target types is this crafts ability. When locked in battle, its chances are slim if the battle is drawn out. The Point Defense also can not target anything above or behind the ship.
Description: This Marauder-class Corvette has seen many hands, and been through many battles. It was discovered by Jeron Verity while he was on a mission by the Galactic Empire, which was originally to assault a base... but the base ended up being abandoned. Jeron kept the ship as a private, personal ship, instead of acquiring a personal ship from the Galactic Empire. It would soon serve to be an excellent under cover starship, allowing him further ability to infiltrate enemy hideouts and gain intel when he would go undercover. Eventually it was decided to outfit the ship for more than just the missile loadout since the missiles would never last forever, and Jeron wanted as few credit trails back to the Empire as possible. The starship saw heavy reconstruction and modifications throughout its life under the command as Jeron, which he personally sought to make it his own as much as possible. Even going to lengths of using salvaged pieces of technology that he found throughout his life. It's modifications even almost saw a Mark 3 Stygium Cloaking Device, allowing one to be installed and removed at any time, but it could not be permanent and still had trouble to install or remove (it was not hot swappable), as the weapon systems added with the increased engine and thruster systems would cause the internal power generator to short circuit or shutdown when powering the cloaking device. When hooked up to an external source of power that was not held down, the ship proved to be valuable while cloaked, but it could never perform properly without an upgraded internal power source. Unfortunately, the Stygium Cloaking Device had also become damaged in its last use, the Stygium Crystal powering the device was destroyed. The device alone is stable, but it can no longer be used unless a new Stygium Crystal is obtained.
