Q-Ship. It’s experimental, but this is the first in the Alpha line. The controls are exactly like the Black Eagle

This ship has gate capability? That's right! It produces a gravitic field and launches the ship through a gate. You hit that button (red button), and you’ll be halfway to the next star system in ten seconds flat.”

How’s that possible? I’ve only ever seen that on Empire battleships and other big ships. Aren’t gate drives the size of a fucking building?”Most of them are, but we’ve got a special model. Good for exactly one jump in case of emergencies.”One jump?” And the same rules apply as with any other gate engine. If you activate it too close to an object, such as that asteroid in front of you—”you’ll end up like a bug on a windshield,” Activate it too close to a planet, and you’ll—”“Destroy the planet,”

We’re a rogue operation and can’t have Federation weapons. Get ready for some old school guns.” There’s a switch to your right. Do you see it?” asked Pip. “I am blinking the light.”“I’ve got it. Same place we had it on the Black Eagles.”“Correct. The difference here is that the Q-Ships use a much higher yield of explosive. Specifically—“Enough to kill a small moon,”

The Q-Ship was built with stealth in mind, its cloaking technology was second to none.

You know that Q-Ship of yours? A’Din “Hatch” Hatcherik designed it. Just the one you’re flying. The one you said looked like shit. It was the original, and also the best. Hatch made it himself, with his own tentacles, on his own time.”"I do have a question though, about the Q-Ship .Why no railguns? Why no pucks?" asked Eddie. "I didn't want to use any of their technology on this because then they could get into my special programming. I used what I thought the Q Ship needed, and I used only weapons and technology of my own design, nothing that could be traced back to the Federation," explained Hatch
