DESCRIPTION
Based on an Corsair, the Wolf is the mobile base of operations for the pirate Mae Tecono, a member of the Five Syndicates. With a reduced cargo capacity from the original cargo vessel, thanks to the ship having larger engines, a hanger bay and weapons, the ship is designed for piracy and is considered rather good at it.Weapons are concealed behind retracting doors, enabling the captain and their crew to get close to the target, disable it and launch a boarding action.
Appearing as a crude and boxy-looking vessel, the ship is 110 meters in length, with cargo capacity reduced, and replaced with communal areas and cabins, as well as holding cells, weapons workshops and more. The ship requires eight crew to operate and can carry additional sentients as required - be they as crew or prisoners of the captain.
Sublight performance is enhanced over the original model, able to hit 65 MGLT, with solid hyperdrives that enable it to quickly enter and exit hyperspace to conduct a raid. Unlike the ship upon which it is based, it can only carry 20,000 tonnes of cargo (unlike the Action VIs 80,000). A popular tactic for this vessel is to enter a shipping lane, pretending to be a cargo ship, sidle up to its prey, and open fire - disabling the target, boarding it, and making off with the spoils.

Thank you Nor'baal for making my Dad and my idea a reality to roleplay with. Your write up and creation of the Corsair, was exactly what he and I have been trying to do for 4 years. Thank you.
