Ship Overview, Learn the basics

[Hannibal Masters]

The Vindicator is truly a one of a kind vessel, a model if you will. She's a test subject, albeit a very deadly one. If this experiment turns out for the best then more will follow in her pathways. If not... well the odds are that I'll be too busy not breathing to care.

On the outside she resembles a fairly standard Victoria-class Corvett, almost unassuming, however a closer look reveals that she's equip with some not so standard weaponry and armor. I've been told by the brass that her payload of missiles is....extraordinary. Not to mention the heavy guns, which contain enough stopping power to crack the hull of just about ant pirate vessel encountered. All this firepower come at a cost, of course, our Vindicator isn't nearly as fast or maneuverable as a standard Victoria. But when you can utterly destroy anything that comes across your path, do you really need to be? As an added bonus she's been wired differently from a tech standpoint as well! We can man her with a much, much smaller crew than is the norm, handy in a fight.

On the inside the ship has been utterly redecorated as you can see from the below schematics. I've been informed that a Doctor named Mr. Knight is responsible for their attractive nature. If he is ever seeking employment I'm sure he could find a job as a ship designer.

(For the purpose of reading deck 1 is closest to the ground when docked.)

We have more than enough escape pods to get every man on bourd out. However they remained locked until I give the code. You'll have to think of a different way to flee your duty early!

Now I'm receiving a communication from command, so I turn the duration of the tour over to PFC Vance, who is more than capable of pointing out everything else you need to know. Until next we meet gentlemen and ladies.

Captain Masters has turned the rest of this delightful little experience over to me. I'll follow the Captain's orders but let's make one thing clear. I've got more of the First Mate's view of you than his, so don't make any wrong moves, Dong mah? Glad we got that straightened out.

This here is our mule

As you can see she's a nice black color. With eight wheels for added stability, she can make around 23 MPH on land and around 6 in the water. She's got space for around six bodies, plus a thousand pounds of gear. Which comes in handy considering what we can attach to the mount on the back.

The picture speaks for itself I think. This rather intimidating weapon is more than capable of dishing out enough hot lead to end just about anyone or anything's life. Now, you lot won't be touching the big gun, ever. If you do I'll give you a first hand introduction to that new necklace you're wearing.

Captain doesn't want it but fortunately Alliance Brass is less trusting than him. Each of you are now wearing a fancy Alliance shock collar, don't bother trying to remove it, because you can't. Bother to try sets it off anyway. You get out of line, you look at us the wrong way, you do anything that we don't like. ZAP. Enough electricity running through your body to cook an egg. Consider it our safety measure.

Now back to the ship. We've got two shuttles, kind of like the ones you see on old Firefly's, though ours a regulation purple, and armed with a rack of missiles and a single gun. I doubt you'll ever be stepping foot inside them. Just a hunch.

That's about it I suppose, head back to your quarters, or to the training area. Dinner's at six. Welcome to the Vindicator.
