The Mercygiver




The Mercygiver

Modified Sigil Industries Ermine-Class Light Yacht

Owner/Operator: Pyrodox

Crew: 1

Armament: 2 Autolaser Cannons, 1 Ion Cannon, 2 Missile Launchers, 2 Aft Lasers

Complement: 3 “VIP” Passengers, plus 5 prisoner cells, 2 Medium Cargo Holds (all interchangeable)

Creator: Pyrodox

 

       In contrast to his overall dark aesthetic, Pyrodox selected a relatively graceful-looking ship.  A semi-luxury yacht meant to transport a family and some servants in relative comfort, this Ermine-class was stripped of most of its luxuries, with its crew quarters converted into Pyrodox’s own.  He tore down the walls dividing the individual crew quarters, reducing his area to one large bed/prep room/dining area.  In this space he modified the remote cockpit to suit his frame, and he replaced the stairs with a large elevator out of necessity.  

       The once-cozy main bedroom/bath was gutted so as to serve as a cargo hold, and a lounge was restructured into five cramped prisoner cells, which Pyrodox’s finding an economical means of facilities for his quarry.  Three bedrooms, once reserved for a group of childen, were stripped down to “VIP” quarters in case some people needed to be voluntarily transported in presentable comfort.  A communal bathroom was retained and a small pantry was provided. 

        Pyrodox uses what was once storage for a small recreational vehicle as a storage for a no-frills personal hoverbike, and a small maintenance droid was bought for the places he couldn’t squeeze into.  

         He souped up the engines and added weaponry/shielding along with faster FTL.  Despite the substantially less luxurious nature of the Mercygiver, Pyrodox gave it a much more ornate exterior, which a good amount of chrome trim.  Apperances aside, the Mercygiver is a formidable hunting ship with the cargo/passenger space needed to do its job, as Rebecca Mallory learned when Pyrodox defeated her in aerial combat after her destruction of his previous ship.
