TVC 05/16 The ship used by Biset's "enforcers", Jotuns, leader Norwun (with four other Jotuns, including Reqara, as crew members), to capture Barnabas on Gerris Station. If any ship could have given the Shinigami a run for its money—and a lot of ships had tried and failed spectacularly at that—it might be this one.
It was a frigate-class ship, clearly made for atmosphere as well as space, but there the similarities ended. The Shinigami was sleek and shining, painted beautifully and clearly state of the art. This ship looked old and battered, so much so that the casual observer probably wouldn’t be able to tell just how dangerous it was. But if they knew anything about ships, the observer would know to be very, very careful of this one. Its shape showed the sleek lines of excellent craftsmanship, and the scars on it were bad enough that the ship should be in several pieces. The fact that it wasn’t was a very bad sign. The amount of venting on the back suggested that the engines could burn harder than almost any Gar had seen. They belonged on a much larger ship, as did the missile bays. This ship was armed to the teeth, and it was fast.
